Which adjective would you use to describe me?
On another publication's website one pro-KC (possibly a professional KC person judging by the depth of their protective instincts for the archaic institution) actually called me "fluffy".
She didn't use it as a term of affection or anything, it wasn't a pet name. It was an attempt to suggest that Dogs Today didn't tackle the thornier issues!
I am still in shock. I never wear pink. I've never been a girlie girl that hid behind men. Have always been someone to roll those sleeves up and get stuck in should the situation warrant it.
But to have been perceived by anyone as fluffy.... it's made me want to renew my subscription of Spare rib and get a tattoo.
My biggest fan also claims I am always censoring the comments on this blog and that our magazine speaks with one voice - mine.
As I just okayed a letter for print from someone who called me a t**t for suggesting that Prince Edward shouldn't hit his dogs with big sticks, I wonder what I need to do to show I believe in free speech. And no - please don't just post abuse now to test me out - and certainly DO NOT EVER CALL ME FLUFFY!
(Do you think she hit a nerve?)

I also promise never to call you the "f" word!
Ever.

It's a silly remark to have made.
Prefer your view to tell you truth!
I have been a DT reader for 13 years and fluffy is not a word I would have used lol
I note that on the Cavalier Talk site there is criticism of your Cavalier Health advisor. And guess what? The poster doesn't identify themselves!
Sirius
And if your wondering who Barbara Cartland is - it's Sirius's other pet name for me.... and he/she/it claims not to be my biggest fan. Bet there's a clunky collection of romantic fiction under that bed nestling with the KC stud books.
Here is that PS in full..
PS I do think that "Maria said...." shouldn't label people as a bully until they know either the person concerned or the whole story, not unless you think I have been a bully?!?!
(Ed's note: I think Maria was talking about Anonymous's post on 22 Jan 2009 16.50 - so Sirius are you that anonymous too? Please sign your name so we know who you are - even though you think we don't know who you are!)
PPS describing me as "your biggest fan" is almost as worthy as the many so called facts accuracy in PDE, and such a shame I see they lost at the awards to one about a Street.
