Of course, I bet Kate could care less what anyone else but Jon thinks about anything she does, don't you?
I was on vacation! 
I admit that I believed Pennmommy and I felt really bad when I heard that her son died. Now I feel taken but hey that's what happens sometimes.
I do think some of the people on GWOP have waaaaay too much time on their hands and are overly critical. I haven't read there in a while but I like to read the gosselins sightings section.
Anyways,lesson learned. Don't believe everything you read. Anyone can be anybody at anytime on the internet.
That said, I'm growing increasingly bored with the family and the drama surrounding it. I think now that they are promoting their show and such it's just same old same old. They aren't a real family anymore.
Whoa!! I thought I'd never see the day! Some of you who seemed to be hardcore anti-JK are actually relenting a bit. Wow. I think PennMommy may have actually helped JK, which I'm sure he/she/it is thrilled about.
) and form an opinion after that. There are some episodes I'm much more critical of than others. I don't read too much (or try not to) into their actual family dynamic outside of what I've seen for myself. All that talk about behavior issues, learning disabilities, Kate's relationships with her family, etc. Absolutely none of my business. I don't think we (the viewers) see enough of the day to day life to make those kinds of assessments.

you don't mean meee, do you?!
Most of my opinions about Jon & Kate stand. I'm irritated and disappointed that PennMommy ended up being a fraud, mostly because I got sucked into her drama. And from what I've read, I believe the way she manipulated people's emotions about her fictional son's death was far worse than weaving a tale of lies about Jon & Kate. Because, let's face it, most of what she claimed wasn't new information ... it was just presented in a way to make people think she had evidence to back it up. Rumors rehashed, IMO.
I still watch each episode and try to look at it as objectively as I can (staying away from GWoP
I think it's interesting to watch the shows in chronological order, following along with the archives of their blog. Those two things alone are pretty telling ... but, if you factor in Julie's blog as even half-truths ... I don't think it paints a very flattering picture of Jon & Kate Gosselin. Maybe the end justifies the means. I don't know. I wonder what effect this will have on the children, when the cameras are gone and the show is over. Someday, they'll all be older and able to Google what the world has had to say about their family.
I was referring to some of those who'll believe anything about JK as long as it's negative. Thanks to PennCompulsiveLiar, there seems to be a change of heart (or mind?).

) and it's a horrendous tragedy. this does'nt even touch on truely predatory types that are seeing more of these children's intimate moments than most of us see of any children other than our own-that type of mind is not waiting for an opportunity they are counting on it.
if anything the whole 'pennmommy' thing makes me more critical of how ill advised continuing with the show in it's current format (regular series vs annual or less frequent update specials) is.
that one person would take the time and effort to create such an elaborate charade that includes representing (and perhaps truly perceiving) herself as an intimate to the family shows how the line has been crossed with a certain population where they can no longer reccognize that these children are reality not a made for t.v. fantasy (though some would say it is blurred through production and editing). fortunatly pennmommy apparantly never made any attempts to physicaly come in real contact with the family, but that's not to say that there are'nt lots of other mentaly unstable persons like her (or him? not sure it's ever been determined) who would take it that dangerous step further.
there is way too much information available on the family-people study those episodes scene by scene and can detail out the floor plans to their home, people know when the kids get on and off the school bus, following their speaking scheduals and know when the kids are traveling to venues or j&k are traveling alone, there are 'gosselin sighting' blogs devoted to reporting the names of places they frequent. it only takes one deluded crackpot who decides to 'rescue' the kids, punish j&k for what they perceive as their inappropriate parenting, or on the other side of the coin pursue what they perceive in their delusional mind as an already existing relationship (it's nice people send them gifts but when you are thanking them on the air even unnamed and then showing the kids wearing those cute matching t-shirts or backpacks that a viewer customized and sent in, some sick, sad, lonely people perceive that as creating a familial bond
unless those kids are going to be provided with 24/7 security in every place they go (as many of the celebs already do for their kids and claim to detest that despite their best efforts to keep their kids out of the limelite they have no choice because of whacko stalkers) i fear for them. there are too many sickos out there-pennmommy's damage seems to be limited to the extent of emotionaly messing with the minds of those who read her posts, it's the ones who are'nt posting their delusions that worry me much more.
for what it's worth ... Julie has removed her comments associated to Penn Mommy from her blog. Maybe she realized the truth on her own, just later than others. I doubt we'll ever know.

I think there will be a new wave of popularity now that the Gosselins are making appearances in the mainstream media (Regis & Kelly, etc). I know the show is highly-rated, but it is on cable. That does limit the exposure somewhat.
