Hemlock's Diary 6-12 October, 2002

Dear Hemlock, have to call you that as you are too cowardly to give your real name.  Funny that, as you are so ready to publicly pillory others who you've never met. I guess you do state what the aim of your website is very clearly but how dare you prejudge me just from a picture in the paper. Maybe you are the kind of person who is afraid to meet real people. All I have to tell me about you are some aimless ramblings. Maybe you are the kind of person who has to hide behind other personas as they are insecure about the one that they have. I am used to criticism as I am in that kind of job as you know, what kind of job do you do? What I am not used to is the kind of baseless, insulting and heavily biased kind of criticism that I found on your site. You are probably the kind of person to thrive on feedback such as this and I will give you that pleasure. What I will not give you is a second chance to remove the offensive and slanderous reference to me on your website - please remove it immediately. Consider this. If you have web-savvy children and they search for references to their mum or dad and find results including terms such as the one on your website, how would you feel? Maybe talking about feelings is lost on a person such as you. I will check back shortly to make sure that the offensive reference to me has been removed, if it hasn't you will hear from my lawyers. By the way, terms like 'this website is updated irregularly' will be no excuse. Luisa Tam

Not afraid to meet them.  Just don't like them much.

This goes in the "quotes" box

"And write out a hundred times..."  Takes me back to convent school - you can just see that finger wagging

This clinched it.  Those poor kids reading malicious venom about their mother

My emphasis.  The exact words said to me by Sister Agatha when I was kept in to clean a desk

A quick word from California....
