I apologize if someone else has already asked this (you get so many comments on your site that it is difficult to keep track of all of them), but it would be fascinating to read more... Take care, and keep up the good fight, K. Hi there Alli,

Do you plan to post more “After Challenger” type-entries? I apologize if someone else has already asked this (you get so many comments on your site that it is difficult to keep track of all of them), but it would be fascinating to read more…

I THINK that's what happened since I didnt know about the whole thing til it was over you know? But anyway, he said the rules were that you couldn't self-promote or something, and removed the story or whatever it was. It was really weird, but not unexpected. Alot of people don't believe it and the guy sent me a pretty mean email saying he didn't believe my story, so he was taking it down. It was funny because I'm not even a member of that place and you have to be to post a link. Silly.

When I started this blog, I didn't even give the address out to my family...only like 3 friends. It spread from there, so yeah, I was posting it on here because my soon-to-be-ex husband kept throwing my written journals out. I meant this initally to be my personal place, but its become quite public. So when people are skeptical or rude, I don't care. I'm not writing it to prove anything, simply to heal. Those of you who stick up for me, I appreciate you. Those who get really angry and defensive of me have been here the whole time and they just get angry after its happened like 235 times. Just keep reading. If you wanna say something, say it. I won't censor anyone, and I expect the same of all of you. Alli Thing is, I don’t care if people believe it or not.

However... There is no excuse for posting disrespectful comments. But sometimes I see someone question the authenticity of the site and just get mercilessly beaten in the comments. People shouldn't be chatized for being respectfully skeptical or inquisitive (I am NOT talking about the fellow above); a lot of stuff on the internet is fake. I personally do not doubt the authenticity of this site. It seems much more likely that Alli actually went through this than her being the greatest con artist and sincerity-faker ever. But you can't really villify people for being skeptical. After all, I found this site via Metafilter, and the link to it was promptly removed with a statement calling into question its authenticity. So cut some people some slack. Alli is doing a great job getting all this stuff out there, and she's obviously tough enough to handle the occasional doubter in the comments. Big fan of the site.

It must be very cathartic, and hopefully just as helpful for people to read as it must be for you to write and get this all out of your system. Plus you write really well, and it's a fascinating recollection of what happened. However I am really disappointed by the way most people seem to be reacting to this and leaving comments; demanding to know what happened next, or how a certain character progressed, as if this was all just some made up story. This was your actual life, and I cannot even begin to imagine how hard that must have been to deal with, and must still continue to be. I'm sorry you had to experience that, but I'm glad that you're moving on and finding a way to make something positive out of it all. Don't let anyone force you to tell your story in any way that makes you uncomfortable, or in any way that's different to how you planned it. You don't owe any of us anything. No answers or explanations or character twists or plot devices. Just keep on sharing and that's more than enough. Thanks for letting us read! Keep up the good work, and good luck with everything, both now and in the future. -Stef Hi Alli,
