Over the years, I have written about Holly with a depth and passion and cruelty and love that I've never written about anyone. And that's because she allowed me to. No other woman would. If she abides by her latest post and I lose her as a friend, that will be my loss.

Why would you want to write cruel things about someone that is a friend? And what is this bullshit "she allowed me to".? Did you call her and tell her you were going to post a rumor that she is in rehab? Was her answer "oh yeah, go ahead, I'll allow that".

From what I have read she regarded you as a friend and as you said, it is your lose. Everyone has had a friend at some point in their life they always had to defend to other people, and it seems she defended you.

Here is a simple rule that I follow and I don't need oranized religion to help me follow it. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Like I said, it's a pretty simple rule and I don't have to make any donations to a chruch.
