'Fugwump' works too, though. <br /><br />Re: nasty comments and people getting way too worked up, I won't object to you moderating comments as much as necessary, either here or on FHOTD. It's your party, you can evict the rude guests. (And we'll thank you for it!) <br /><br />Western Pleasure is a heck of a topic for getting people worked up, though. The longest, loudest arguments that I remember on FHOTD were on that topic, the only other one that approached it was anything that could be interpreted as fat bashing. Nothing like starting with the controversial stuff! Plus, the FHOTD readers have raised misinterpreting other people's opinions to an art form. Good luck riding herd on that crew.Mel V.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-20547039774453684912011-08-22T09:50:35.797-06:002011-08-22T09:50:35.797-06:00Glad to hear it, but I can't say I'm surpr...Glad to hear it, but I can't say I'm surprised.

One of t...Huh -- I'm actually really surprised. One of the reasons I LOVE this blog and check in every day is the quality of the writing here. I mean, I enjoy getting to hear stories from a lot of people during the 'Mouthy Mondays' segment, but I always breathe a sigh of relief when you come back, Mugs, because your writing is such a pleasure to read (I can't help it -- I'm a grad student in English and teach composition for a living).<br /><br />When I read your first post over at Fugly, I was really disappointed; the 'voice' sounded like a much younger person, and was not as pleasurable to read. I actually considered responding to your comment that blogs are 'virtual barfing on the keys' by pointing you -- ironically -- to this blog as an example of well-written blog posts that were in no way 'virtual barfing,' but were in fact clearly the result of lots of thoughtful writing and revision. <br /><br />I actually thought to myself: "You know who I'd REALLY like to see writing this blog, now that Cathy's gone? Mugwump. Too bad we have this young hack writer who uses punctuation like a 13-year-old girl instead." I'm laughing at myself now. : )<br /><br />I do hope that your 'Mugs' voice will contaminate your 'Fugs' voice to some extent, because the control you have over your language here would make for some EXCEPTIONAL snarking and commentary over at the Fugs blog. Having TWO venues for reading Mugs? I'm practically drooling in anticipation.derpy sparklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18288159261528784358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-43470601507825178042011-08-22T08:00:22.405-06:002011-08-22T08:00:22.405-06:00Congrats can't wait, and I to thought of you w...Congrats can't wait, and I to thought of you when I read the latest post over there. <br /><br />BarbaraBarbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03927825529168458118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-16899208148570488122011-08-22T07:33:40.315-06:002011-08-22T07:33:40.315-06:00Good for you girl,go get it done!Enjoyed the New F...Good for you girl,go get it done!Enjoyed the New Fugly post & must admit it sounded like you writing.OOh that's two rational blogs to read.marykahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07836469433875199731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-19607839577668076552011-08-22T07:22:58.877-06:002011-08-22T07:22:58.877-06:00Congrats!
