I tried to email you in response to your comments, but it appears to be a spammy address (nice touch). So I’ll just leave the email in it’s entirety here for you to view, should you ever deem to grace this blog with your presence again…

Hi,

I’m emailing you regarding the two comments you recently left on my blog, Something Swanky.

It occurred to me that you might not realize that there is an actual, real, live human being on the other side of my blog. Because I have to assume you you don’t really talk to people that you meet in the same rude manner you spoke to me. I know that a lot of personal connection is lost on the internet, making it easier for us to feel like we can be rude to complete strangers. Somehow the anonymity makes it feel like it’s alright somehow.

So I thought I’d introduce myself and let you know that I really don’t like being spoken to that way.

I’m sorry the recipe didn’t work out for you. In truth, you may be right. It could need a lot of tweaking. It’s a very old recipe that I created at the very beginning of my blogging and food-making journey. I probably wouldn’t make it the same way today that I did then. However, for the record, MANY readers over the years have tried it and liked it.

All of that aside– whether you are right or not, please don’t leave comments like that on my blog in the future. If something doesn’t work, constructive feedback is always welcome. But rudeness is not. If you can’t contain yourself, then please refrain from visiting Something Swanky at all.

And I hope to goodness that the online version of you that I’ve encountered does not accurately reflect the real you.

That sounds delicious!!

That’s basically what it is 🙂 If you have a different filling you’d rather use, go for it!
