Mortal Enemies and Lonelygirl15, Redux

Well, it seems that Lonelygirl15 might be a scientologist. This would explain a lot. I don't wish to offend any of my scientologist readers or anything, and I know that when you say bad things about scientology they sort of mark you for life and all, but that is one batshit crazy religion.

Sarah and I had a long talk last night with our friend Amy (who is incidentally creating the world's cutest television pilot for Nick, Jr.) about mortal enemies and whether or not one ought to have them.

The long and short of the conversation was that we all agreed that you must never, ever defend yourself or your work against critics, because you end up looking like a jerk, even if you're a really great person who does a lot for kids. This is true 100% of the time, without exception in all of human history. So I am only going to look like a jerk if I start a feud with amazon reviewer D. Brown (whomever s/he might be).

ERGO: I would like to announce that D. Brown is no longer my mortal enemy. In fact, I want to make D. Brown my friend. I want to reconcile with D. Brown and put our painful shared past behind us. The thing is, though, that D. Brown and I cannot have our moving and heartwarming reconcilliation until I find out who D. Brown is.

And so begins an investigation the likes of which has not been seen since Danielbeast tried to light a candle beneath Aleister Crowley.

looks like he owns a small christian publishing company called doorlight publications, based in western massachussetts. (his amazon nickname is "doorlight books" which, when googled, will get you to doorlight publications, which, when further googled, will get you his business address. if you wanted to know.)

"Anyway, what I'm getting at is that it's hard to make a funny, charming first-person video"

and my response is:
not if you're a pro. Actors make these all the time. I've seen audition tapes that look as good as LG15, but then again, a one-shot tape isn't a series. These tapes aren't done by any 16 year old.

She's not a $cientologist.
