No such thing happened. William, the blogger of YNH, who previously claimed to be a group of three or four people from the upper midwest including one female who is actually a 23 year old graduate student in Alabama, is what we call in the business one sick puppy.  Feel free to go to his confessional blog post and join others who are encouraging him to keep blogging. Or perhaps you&#8217;d have something different to say to him.<\/p>\n<p>But do remember, when I &#8220;sent&#8221; commenters and facebook friends to his blog a few weeks back, he created a number of horrid, awful fake comments and accused you (the readers of this blog) of having written them. You, the commenters and readers here, have been accused by William of misogyny and violence.  So, if you do visit his post and comment, be extra sweet.  Like syrup.
