"The nonsense spouted off by some of these people is just absurd. It's completely made up.."

you're tellin' me. and frankly, i'm tired of it. what's worse is that it appears as though some of my commenter peers, many of whom i used to consider to be my trusted confidants and best friends forever (bff), have embarked on a ruthless campaign to silence ol' mitch buchannon. this coming even after adn's recent publication of the "commenter reviews 2016" report. i mean,just take a look at some of the nice things people, organizations, and other publications, had to say about me: 

"when i need inspiration, i don't reach for the good book; i kick back and crack open a tall-boy of mitch buchannon." -pope francis

"mitch buchannon is a breath of fresh air in an otherwise stagnant world." -rainbow push coalition

"pour me another cup o' mitch!" -time magazine

"mitch buchannon is to local newspaper comments forums as is peanut butter to jelly, biscuits to gravy, mork to mindy." -stephen hawking
