Is there so much hate for the ones we love?

It would seem not.

Yeah Jorn, I know what you mean. I have decided to quit writing about
how much I love Kate. Why pour your heart out when it will just get
dumped on? Stick to facts and figures (though those have been attacked
recently too) questions and comments, news and information. It's very
fashionable to be cynical and anti-hero nowadays I guess. How sad.
Some people mistake genuine affection and admiration for "slobbering."

E-mail me when you have something heart-felt to say though. I'll do the
same for you, Jorn. Or post to Ecto. I care.

critisism?" posts.
