Following is a letter posted to Penny Mellor's blog this evening. I've posted it here because I doubt Penny will publish it on her site and I am hoping that it may encourage her to stop and think before posting more untruths about Rita Pal.


Open Letter to Penny Mellor

Penny,

The language I am talking about is usually spelt "Pidgin" but depends on where you come from and which version of the language you are talking about. My spelling of "Pigeon" related to Paul Heathcote's reference. If anything I am guilty of being too lazy to bother using inverted commas.
Do we not think that picking on spelling and grammar is a little juvenile though? Makes me think I am talking to a school teacher. If you are trying to point out that I cant speak/read/write English, then you're wasteing your time. I've already told you I am British as are the last 600 years worth of my family - and those are just the ones I know of. I think picking on spelling is all a little petty.

I've had some time to think this afternoon and I was trying to think why my blog would make you want to attack Rita the way you have and what on my blog could have made you consider that I am her.

Prior to you linking to my site, the only reference to you is something about what I read now that Rita is no longer posting. I said I didnt read things that you wrote as I dont like what you write. For you to take that and think that I am Rita and do the level of character assassination that you did either means that you are extremely insecure or paranoid. Which one is it? Or is there another reason? If so, please feel free to share because right now I am beginning to think that you are extremely unstable.

Your postings over the last few days have been diabolical. You have wrongly accused me of being someone I'm not. You've disregarded what I've said when I've told you I am not Rita Pal and continued to use this all as an excuse to attack someone who isnt here to defend themselves.
If you wish to attack ME please feel free to do so because at least you will be having a go at someone who is here to defend themself. Please take note that as I have told you on a number of occasions, I am NOT Rita Pal. I am exactly as I described myself - someone who read Rita's writing and enjoyed reading it.

So what do you know about me?
I like reading Rita's writing
I think Rita has added a lot of value and helped people understand the workings (or lack there of) of the NHS
I'm British (and white - just to clarify things)
I speak fluent Pidgin (LOL - that must have come as a shock to Paul. I know I'm still laughing)

I dont want to get into any arguments with you because I quite honestly don't care about you or what you think to any degree at all. I do however, object to you attacking Rita as a result of my blog because that is quite unfair.

Now that I have said this in open forum, maybe you will stop attacking and sit and think that you are actually totally incorrect. The sidebar of your blog says that you are printing the truth about Rita. Clearly you aren't because you have jumped to some very wrong conclusions and made some totally incorrect accusations. I still believe you owe Rita an apology for the things you have said over the last few days.

So that you are aware, I am posting this to my blog as well as yours. If you choose to publish it on your blog and publically apologise to Rita Pal for what you have said in the last few days, then you may be a better person than I have given you credit for being. Somehow I dont expect this to happen though.

Regards,

Totally Disgusted
