(I've been actually sitting on this post for a while, waiting for the controversy to blow over. Maybe I should have waited until next week?)trollsmythhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01895349218958093151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28751902.post-74523450465681593422010-03-26T21:45:37.206-05:002010-03-26T21:45:37.206-05:00I'm a brand new reader and I found the whole c...I'm a brand new reader and I found the whole controversy to be a bit ridiculous.
