An Apology About Her Apology

(Okay, this is all going very "meta" and self-indulgent; it will stop soon.)

Article III Groupie would like to apologize for her not-terribly-apologetic "apology" of yesterday. She shouldn't have tried blogging while depressed and uncaffeinated. While she does have a diva-esque side to her personality, as you all know, she's really not that bitchy. She just got up on the proverbial "wrong side of the bed" yesterday, then sat down in front of her laptop without getting coffee first. As a result, she wrote a lot of things that she now regrets.

Some additional background: before blogging yesterday morning, A3G read a few reader emails that ordered her to "Hop to it!" and "Get back to blogging at UTR!" -- instead of nicely requesting that she return, which would have been more polite. These messages rubbed her the wrong way. She doesn't like being bossed around or treated like a hired hand, especially by people who haven't hired her. So that explains the "Are you paying her to do this?" comment. It was really directed at those readers who have sent her emails "ordering" her back to blogging, not at her readers generally.

In closing, A3G apologizes for the inappropriate tone of yesterday morning's post. And she'd like to reiterate that she loves you, her readers (as long as you don't boss her around like a wage slave). Without your support of this blog and, of course, your tidbits of judicial gossip, UTR would not be possible.

So thank you for reading -- and, if you can find it in your heart to forgive A3G, please come back again.

As one who had to sit through a couple of days of annoying comments from useless people myself, I have great empathy for your position. Fame and power are not always the joyride people imagine, and I support you entirely in the hard work you continue to do at BOTH sites. Were you to be forced to abandon this site, you would still deserve nothing but praise for the years of hard work you put into it.

A3G is back!! A3G is back!! Every gal needs a makeover and occassionally an indulgent trip to a spa. Thank goodness A3G "took a Napa" rather than "moved to napa."

Since you are doing this for free, ignore the petulant whines of the unwashed masses who lack the initiative to perform the vital public service that you provide.

Good luck with everything, A3G. Whiny emails from strangers should be completely ignored and promptly deleted! From my own self-interested perspective, I hope that blogging here will give you a lift and help with the depression, but you completely deserve whatever time you need to get back on your feet (ensconced in your favorite sling-back jimmy choos, of course).

Welcome back! I'm so glad the void in my regular reads has been patched.

"We would like to apologize for the previous apology. The persons responsible for firing the persons responsible, have been fired. We now resume the movie, already in progress, with the following words from our sponsor..."

Welcome back, A3G -- even divas are only human, and your absence is completely understandable. UTR is, happily, back in my favorites.

...deserves a good bitch slap!

We're glad to have you back. Anyone trying to boss A3G around deserves a good smack-down.
