She is a remarkable lady, and I've learned a lot of things from her besides the Knitting Stuff -- how to take the moral high road is one of them. Stephanie is a gracious and giving lady.

I have no personal knowledge, wanting to stay away from the individual who is causing YH the problems so as not to instigate more crazy-ass behavior, but it wouldn't surprise me if websites like Blogger or Typepad or whatever take complaints of harassment and threats very seriously and remove offending comments.

I too, left a comment of support for her and I was also able (with a bit of research) find the blog of the guilty party. Note: Last night, she had written some really nasty comments about Stephanie and her readers, but I noticed that this morning, all of the nasty comments had been removed from her blog. I won't name her here, but I hope the authorities have gotten to her.

What I admire most about YH is her spirit of service: the blog is free, her patterns are free, her work on Sock Summit has been free (although I hope she and Tina get BIG checks after all is said and done). There are always haters, and perhaps no good deed goes unpunished. But no good deed doer should go unthanked. So I thank you, Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, for everything.<br /><br />And thank you Carol, as well.Knittahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15945035053199605558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710479.post-51110847286478039192009-07-27T09:39:13.724-04:002009-07-27T09:39:13.724-04:00Agreed. xoAgreed. xoRabbitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06666335853812810456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710479.post-80070365662193258802009-07-27T09:27:18.727-04:002009-07-27T09:27:18.727-04:00I love the Yarn Harlot and I have all of her books...I love the Yarn Harlot and I have all of her books.
