		<description>Я подписался на вашу RSS ленту, но сообщения почему-то в виде каких-то значков непонятных :( Как это исправить?</description>

		<description>At the end of the day, do you REALLY care who Violent Acres is?  If this person wants to write about things they find interesting, and you happen to agree or disagree, does it change anything?  A blog is a way to express yourself, and a way to share it.  Does it keep you up at night knowing this person ticks you off?  They can say things you can&#039;t, or are afraid to share?  I think it&#039;s awesome that someone else has these thoughts, and that I can share my frustrations, simply by reading.  GO VIOLENT ACRES!!!  Everyone else, get over yourselves, maybe real blogging is your outlet.  TRY IT!!</description>

		<description>All those comments above are fake comments from violentacres herself. Yes she has different accounts to make herself look good. But you knew that already right?</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Violent Acres: The Mother Teresa of Cyberspace&lt;/strong&gt;

She is like a female Mark Foley; he didn&#039;t merely spout empty rhetoric about how dangerous the Internet could be for kids, but actually went out and proved it.</description>

		<description>Overall, I find her very entertaining and I&#039;m a bit jealous myself, but I also wonder if all the snark ever pays off. My natural writing style tends to be constructive so that has become the tone of my site, but occasionally I get into a really snarky mood. Maybe I&#039;ll start an anonymous blog to let that out and see what happens.</description>

		<description>I saw a link to that blog on digg and assumed that it was some lame Tim Robbins type blog spam. I&#039;m pretty sure I&#039;ve seen it before.</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;At least she is honest, we can try and sound all high and mighty but let’s face it; we all hide behind a nice facade for professional reasons.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I wish we didn&#039;t have to.</description>

		<description>@Anthony:

She makes references to her &#039;husband&#039; in a number of posts.  Sure, I guess one must consider same-sex marriage as an option, but unlikely for many reasons.</description>

		<description>Now that I have taken the time to read all of her posts, I can only strengthen my support of her work. She really is something i.e. smart, witty and hillarious.
