For complete text &lt;br&gt;see &lt;a href="http://AdviceGoddess.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="AdviceGoddess.com"&gt;AdviceGoddess.com&lt;/a&gt; at &lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.advicegoddess.com/archives/2005/03/a_fittin" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.advicegoddess.com/archives/2005/03/a_fittin"&gt;http://www.advicegoddess.co...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;g_busin_1.html&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The following statements you made about me and our &lt;br&gt;company, Sew Beautiful, (&lt;a href="http://www.sew-beautiful.us" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="www.sew-beautiful.us"&gt;www.sew-beautiful.us&lt;/a&gt;) on &lt;br&gt;your Blog are libelous and they are false. You have no &lt;br&gt;basis for making these remarks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Amy wrote..&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I especially love your argument that your customers like &lt;br&gt;it. I'm sure the guy who gets a stolen TV really cheaply &lt;br&gt;from a fence is thrilled as well.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"DOES Chanel really know what you're doing? I doubt it."&lt;br&gt;"I'm loath to believe anything you say"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"...there's much you're doing that's illegal"&lt;br&gt;"Your rationalization of it is absolutely disgusting"&lt;br&gt;"Clearly, you are utterly unconcerned with much but &lt;br&gt;making a profit."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Your business practices make me retch, and your &lt;br&gt;disrespect for others' creative work and intellectual &lt;br&gt;property is creepy."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Hey, there were lots of Nazis in WWII. Doesn't make it &lt;br&gt;right to murder Jews, homosexuals, and gypsies. &lt;br&gt;"Everybody's doing it" doesn't make it moral. What's so &lt;br&gt;disturbing is the energy you put into defending your &lt;br&gt;taking the work of others and profiting from it. All of the &lt;br&gt;above knockoff artists sicken me. It's wrong to profit from &lt;br&gt;work that is not yours -- whether or not there's some hole &lt;br&gt;in the fence of the law that permits you to sneak through &lt;br&gt;and do it."&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Jane Langgdon</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Mar 2005 18:36:50 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Gary LaMusga&amp;#8217;s struggle</title><link>http://bennett.com/blog/2004/05/gary-lamusgas-struggle/#comment-2130295</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Where's my weekly shoe allowance?&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Amy Alkon</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 06 May 2004 12:00:04 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Gary LaMusga&amp;#8217;s struggle</title><link>http://bennett.com/blog/2004/05/gary-lamusgas-struggle/#comment-2130294</link><description>&lt;p&gt;OK, I take it back.

This is typical "I have to change you" behavior.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Where baseball is concerned, you're either with us or with the terrorists; there is no middle ground.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Richard Bennett</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 03 May 2004 17:05:56 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Gary LaMusga&amp;#8217;s struggle</title><link>http://bennett.com/blog/2004/05/gary-lamusgas-struggle/#comment-2130289</link><description>&lt;p&gt;I don't hate it; I'm just not interested in it, so I'd rather read Matt Welch on other topics.

Are you truly that tender-headed, or is it just something you put out there for comedic effect?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am passionately for justice -- whether it's a man or a woman being beaten or being cheated out of what's fair. I am very passionately for fathers rights, against no-fault divorce and the de facto kidnappings it permits, and against criminals like Sheila Kuhn.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In fact,I have a contact who books guests at Oprah, which I give to NO ONE, but I called up Matt Welch and offered him the bookers name and number, because he wrote that incredible piece in Reason about men being turned into the "fathers" (read: Human ATMs) for children whose mothers they'd never even slept with; let alone knew -- and I want to see that publicized. That link is on my site, too. You can dig that up, and while you're there, take a look at this:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.advicegoddess.com/goddessblog.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.advicegoddess.com/goddessblog.html"&gt;http://www.advicegoddess.co...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pretty surprising from a man-hating bitch like me, huh?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Are the shrill, whiny, lie-disseminating victim-feminists really that attractive that men want to emulate them? Or do you just need something to do while you're not getting laid?&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Amy Alkon</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 02 May 2004 18:24:00 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
