God, I will miss Anna Racoon. Grumpy Old Twat writes a tribute to the loss the brothers and sisters in the Blogosphere will feel now that Anna's witty and political musings are gone.
Yes, Blogging can be hard work, and the abuse you get can be hard to take as well as the constant defending of your position when you've said it a million times. No one pays us. We do it for passion and to be heard when no one else is listening.
Some bloggers rant, some investigate, and others reflect, suggest or downright mock. Whatever they do, bloggers are far more entertaining and influential on those the authorities have never been able to reach. It's sad that another of our number has gone. I hope one day she will come back.
