They were shocked to find out she was lying. Not okay to mess with people's feelings like that. And a lot of her followers were mothers who had lost babies.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01286418014358269661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20642800.post-88973070852030624652009-06-15T23:53:15.168-04:002009-06-15T23:53:15.168-04:00Here's the difference: when I pick up one of y...Here's the difference: when I pick up one of your husband's novels, I'm entering into an explicit agreement between the author and reader. We both agree and understand that I'm about to hear a lie. That's the only thing that makes it ok to profit from telling it.<br /><br />But maybe it will make people think twice about sending personal pictures to faceless strangers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20642800.post-16189963022384520652009-06-15T18:04:10.302-04:002009-06-15T18:04:10.302-04:00Huh huh.

I think it's OK to have a fantasy life. But, I have heard stories of women collecting donations for their fake fetuses on message boards with compelling stories of medical conditions. That's fraud. <br /><br />And, again, speaking in general, not about this particular story, but that it is a type of mental illness to fabricate illness. As long as it stays in the internet, that's fine, but I would hate for this person to end up being someone who does a Munchausen's by proxy or something.MomTFHhttp://www.momstinfoilhat.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20642800.post-2030921256514194842009-06-14T22:55:38.022-04:002009-06-14T22:55:38.022-04:00I began commenting here, but my comment grew to an...I began commenting here, but my comment grew to an overwhelmingly long post that would have been obnoxious to leave in your comments (a bad habit of mine), so I just responded in my own post, over on my blog.
