  It's probably a good thing, but I had to sign up to keep some troll from stealing my name

  Since I have always posted letters to Salon and TableTalk under my real name, this change doesn't mean much to me (and, no, I've never been "stalked" by any online psychos--I'm too boring, I guess).
  

  
  

  However, I felt compelled to write a letter quickly in order to get registered, in case some schnook decided to steal my name to write drivel that would be attributed to me!
  

  
  

  Ah, well...
  

  
  

  Also, I am a trifle peeved that Joan Walsh used her blog to announce this official change in Salon policy. Sorry, but I don't like you at all, Ms. Walsh. Last time I read one of your blog entries by choice, I was moved to write a crude and abusive letter to Salon, of which I am currently a bit ashamed.
  

  
  

  While late hours and beer certainly had something to do with this lapse of decorum, your personal style also grates on me to such an extent that I had resolved to avoid your blog in the future as a way of sparing both of us. If you persist in using your blog as a medium for transmitting official Salon policies, I fear I may be moved to ugly crudity again in the future. In the interest of civil discourse, I urge you to issue further Salon policy announcements anonymously or through a surrogate.
  

  
  

  How about King Kaufmann, or Heather Havrilesky? I think they're both fabulous. Put Heather in charge of the whole Letters division. The snark would be heavenly.
  

  
  

  That would give you more time to pat yourself on the back, too (uh, oh, here I go again--better end this).
