First, Dave Kreuger, I believe the blogger is a woman.

You look like a cop in training who would say that sort of thing and mean it. I was a little shocked to see it myself. I've never seen a picture of you before, and my mental image did not include short hair and a tie :) It’s your looks, Mr. Balko.

Or at least the blog itself belongs to a woman. Does someone know that it was the blog owner who posted that? I'm going to give her the benfit of the doubt, since the plight of Jacyi Yaeger is something she feels passionatly about and instense emotion can cloud judgement. Not that it's an excuse for not taking 2 minutes to look at the history of a person's work before trying to get them fired from thier job. I'd give her 24 hours since time of first comment before swooping in and writing nasty-grams to her. First, Dave Kreuger, I believe the blogger is a woman.
