Let me add that nowhere does Ann say that she is being satirical here.

Which neatly sums up the one mistake Ann apparently did make, which was overestimating the intelligence of many of her critics.

Thank you!! If you point out that you are writing more "tongue-in-cheek" than not, it ceases to be effective. The more intelligent caught that. The less intelligent -- well, they're in a stew of their own making.

Which leads me to addressing Ann's "looking to publicly bash NRO to gain a following." I seriously doubt she sought out such attention, but was sought out for a statement herself. (It's what publications do!) If she "bashed" them as a result of what they did to her -- good for her! Is she supposed to just roll over and play dead? She isn't the type, thank God!

Regarding the many posts about "convert[ing] them all to Christianity" -- Ann knows that being a Christian is a deeply personal decision and cannot be forced upon anyone. She knows that! (She is not an idiot!!) All of this only serves to back up the fact that she was not speaking in a literal sense at all. She knows that would be completely ridiculous. Give her a little credit!!

'Cuz God knows that Ann herself could not possibly had made a mistake. It must be all of us misreading her. Yeah, that's the ticket.
