Responses made on the assumption that the blog is true aren't the same thing as being certain that it's true.

That this person is so adamant in the defense of Lori strongly suggests that this is not some random internet crazy but someone close to the case. That 18 year old co-worker's looking like a likely suspect. So's the daughter. But it's either satire so well done no one's catching on, or someone very serious.

Right, and I had no problem with (for instance) your post that stated as such - that's a totally fine way to handle a discussion, and it doesn't let the signal-to-noise ratio get pissed all over.

I do apologize for the hijack here, guys - seriously, my bad. However, it just seems crazy to make assumptions about such a horrible, horrible case like this, when the truth shouldn't take long to come out.
