It was 48 hours non-stop of feeling the love with a few timeouts here and there to lambaste Tearfree as an “ass hat,” “fucktard," “blogtard,” and, worst of all, “not nice.” Why, there was even some Granny blogger talking smack about Tearfree on various Mummy Blogger websites, posting comments like “I was part of the feminist movement of the 70's and I can tell you that troll's diatribe was not what we had in mind. Of course it's about choice and no choice has less value than any other.”
Well first of all Grandma, here at Reject the Koolaid, we don’t discriminate on the basis of age, so Tearfree’s going to tell it to you straight.
Despite the wisdom and experience you should have acquired by your stage in life, you are showing yourself to be as Oprah-addled as the average 20-something Mummy Blogger. Take your theory that “no choice has less value than any other.” Hmm, in that case Tearfree’s choice to start a blog of her own has no less value than any other Koolaid Mom’s choice to blog, so you need to either
a) put that cane down and back right off or
b) do a fundamental rethink of your guiding life philosophy
Tearfree also hopes you’ve taken your daily heart medicine because what she’s going to tell you now may shock you to your very core: one of the profoundly radical things we believe here at Reject the Koolaid is that some choices – be they about Motherhod or what Jack Bauer has to do to save millions of lives -- do indeed have a hell of a lot more value than others.
And as for all you Mummy Bloggers still wringing your hands over what type of person Tearfree must be to spend so much energy spreading “hate” and negativity and mocking Mummy bloggers so mercilessly, well, the answer is Tearfree aspires to be this type of person.
Finally, she would like to give you one last round of Mother’s Day thanks for all the wonderful material you’ve given her to work with. Please, keep it coming so we can all meet back here in one more year.

Nicely done, Tearfree!
Bravo!
I laughed very hard, and nodded my head vigorously in agreement while reading this.
All right, check it out dawg. That was just all right for me. When I first caught wind of this whole hullabaloo I was kind of excited for you, dawg, I was like, "yeah, finally somebody is coming in to call out the sycophantic-circle-jerk nature of this whole blogging community" and I expected big things from you, dawg. like parody. like actual, real satire. But lately it has all been just all right for me. you need to elevate yourself above some of this, dawg, because when I think parody and satire and wit I think Algonquin roundtable. I think Mark Twain. This all seems kind of like the gossip columnist in a rural North Dakota weekly rag, dawg. Sure you've got the power and more importantly the attention necessary to piss people off, but I wish you would be a bit more urbane, a bit more biting. A sign of great satire is that the victim doesn't necessarily know right away that they are being mocked. You have all the subtlety of a brick in the face. I'm just trying to give you some constructive criticism, dawg, because I think satirizing (and parodying) the mommy bloggers has A LOT of potential. But I'm afraid if you don't step it up, you're just going to be remembered as another talentless hack with a great idea who just wasn't able to pull it off very well. Oh, and it was a little pitchy in there. It was just all right for me.
Randy, come to my office right now!
I'm with Randy. Not seeing the satire. Not at all.
Randy may be annoying, but I'm afraid I concur. I was excited at first about this blog, expecting some interesting things, as you seem to be fairly sharp and I wholly agree that disagreement can be quite funny and interesting. However, as I keep coming back (less and less), it's just the same stuff, different day. Your blog feels much more angry than satirical, and as much as you make fun of the "Koolaid Mommies" for whining and complaining about you, you seem to dish it right back with equal high-school-like hate. The back-and-forth is extremely trite, and as much as I hate to say it, this blog is now as boring as your nemesis' musings (which I stopped reading long ago for fear of brain rot). I wish you luck, Tearfree... I think there's still potential here and I hope you can find it.
You know what Tearfree, you just look so beautiful up there. Those are great shoes, too. Congratulations on the excellent shoes! Everyone in this audience knows you're beautiful, Tearfree. You're just so beautiful.
You are beautiful to me, too, Tearfree, although I don't really know what Paula is talking about. I say everyone should cut Tearfree some slack. She is getting trashed daily by the Koolaid moms and is merely fighting back. Soon it will die down and she will continue on her merry blogging way. Blogging by its very nature is a work in progress. One day you rant, one day you joke, one day you ponder.
I for one appreciate her dry wit and intelligence.
Well Tearfree, the judges and voters have spoken and you're in the bottom 3. Actually, you didn't get any votes. Except from that sycophantic whore Jacy. You just had such a William Hung quality about you. But that's what we love about you.
I am not sycophantic!
Read both of my blogs instead of just one post and then come back and talk about how useless I am

It's called contempt prior to investigation.
Good on you for showing up Granny. Hope we could boost your traffic
Very best site. Keep working. Will return in the near future.
