Well it was fun while it lasted.

I have been watching this MALOE thing with some interest for awhile now.

And up until recently, though I had my doubts, I was willing to just let it play itself out.

However things have started to get out of control, with whole comment sections being taken over by those accusing MALOE of being fake, and those coming to MALOE's defense.

Uncool.

Anyhow for the record MALOE is clearly not who she/he says they are.

Despite what many of you seem to think, Blogger does not offer a simple method for tracking the source of a comment, or identifying the ISP number, or the location of the commenters.

However if needed I do have other tools at my disposal.

Up until now I just never felt the need to take the time to investigate the source.

That changed at 4:30 AM Alaska time this morning when I received a comment from MALOE.

Now typically I do not receive too many comments that early in the morning, and rarely any at all from Alaska. (Most of us are sleeping.)

So I did a quick check and sure enough there was nothing during that time frame coming from Wasilla, and in fact the only Alaskan visit had come from Juneau and it was several minutes earlier.

So sorry to rain on everybody's parade, but it appears that MALOE has been yanking you.

I first suspected that was the case when they refused to contact me via e-mail, even after several of you encouraged them to do so.

I have, by the way, talked to other members of Palin's extended family. And the reason that you have never heard about that is because I do not out my sources.

Ever.

So if there ARE any legitimate people with stories to tell, I think I have proven that I am the safest person with whom to share those stories.

P.S. If this MALOE person thinks I am being unfair, or has proof I am wrong, I am more than willing to communicate with them and take all of this back if proven incorrect.

Until then all posts from MALOE will be marked as spam and no longer shared here on IM.
