I misread that portion of the post and I am sorry for that. And Nena, thank you for clarifying, though Pel did take care of that. I do admit I was wrong on that portion of my comment. As for the IP dress, I honestly am 100% shocked by that! You may not believe me, and in the age of computers, it is justifiable to not believe me, but it is true. I was one of the first fans of Twilight in my area and probably do know Hahaha (I'm not sure what to refer to her as, I've only read the one post from her on this artical, so that's why I used that name). I generally know the people in my area that've read Twilight, as well as their opinions on the book, their status on many theories, and their involvement in the fandom. I didn't know there was another person in my neighborhood that goes on fansites! I'm most certianly not a sockpuppet (if I were, I doubt I'd have supplied a legit e-mail account), but if you wish to believe this, I suppose I cannot proove that I am not without putting in far more time and energy than is available to me at the moment. I do, however, deeply regret the somewhat condescending nature of your side-note. Your reply to my comment was very respectful- you shared your view on the matter, specifically to what I had said, and did so in a polite fashion. Then you added a side-note which jumped to conclusions. I will admit that the conclusions you jumped to probably had enough evidence from your point of view to be considered fact, not theory. About three things I am absolutely sure: 1) I am not a sockpuppet of Hahaha. 2) The evidence, from your point of view, is probably leading you to believe that everything I've said is a lie. 3) That's the downside of technology, and we will all be forced to live with it and decide for ourselves what we wish to believe. The plus side to all of this is that I now know there is yet another Twi-Hard in my neighborhood! Regardless of the circumstances in which this was discovered, I'm quite excited about that!<br /><br /><strong>No problem I believe you as "Bluth" et al would hardly come up with a response as articulate as yours, would never take a high road, and you actually provided a legit email. I had a very good friend unjustly banned from a site because she had a similar IP to a troll, so no worries no banning here. My apologies on calling you a sock, but as you say two people having an IP within the same run is pretty high odds.<br /><br />Pel</strong> Thank you for correcting my error- you were not insulting someone elses spelling.

Seriously, I would go crazy if I had to deal with ignorant and rude people like that on a daily basis. They probably have no idea how much time and energy you spend on this site for us. Thank you so much, you guys really are the best fansite EVER and do an AMAZING JOB! You rock Alphie and Pel!!!

The clear message in the post is: If you want to make a difference, send your actual letters to whoever you are filling a petition for. E-petitions are just not taken seriously therefore not proactive. End of the story. I also think you kids are getting mixed up Campain and Petitions. Do you want to get an online community to do something? Build your own site and ask for support! Do you want to get an online community to ask someone else to do something in your behalf? Get everyone to mail a letter with an uniform request to create a movement. Can you tell the difference... yeah there is a fine line, but all you need is a little sense to get it. Carry on!

Just as a side note it’s rather interesting that your IP is within the same block as HAHAHA’s (AKA Olivia) (AKA BluthEmployee).  Can we say sockpuppet boys and girls?  I think we can.
