		<description>Hi Henry,

Thanks for the comment, I think? For starters, I haven&#039;t read The Exception, so I can&#039;t claim (and haven&#039;t claimed) to understand it. 

I&#039;m not going to re-enter what I see as a silly comment battle, but I will reiterate my position yet again: I said nothing bad about Nadal *except* that he looks like a monkey. I put him down in no other way; if you reread my post, you&#039;ll see that I&#039;m quite impressed by his athleticism, and I don&#039;t pretend to be able to compete with that.

Frankly, I think it&#039;s fun and funny to decide what kind of animal a person looks like. In fact, at a holiday brunch with my family just yesterday, my aunt and cousins spent some time teasing me for looking like a fox. Henry, Etienne, et al., it seems we may never agree on the humor of that game, but I don&#039;t think our disagreement goes much beyond that. 

In the spirit of the holidays, let&#039;s all agree to disagree about the monkey thing, and intergalactically share some warm and fuzzy thoughts instead of all those nasty ones. Putting all that negative energy in the world just isn&#039;t worth it, especially at this time of year.

Cheers,
Le fox</description>

		<description>&quot;Finally, I’ve been reading a fantastic book about the psychology of evil and bullying and what makes people be so terrible to each other for seemingly no reason at all. It’s called The Exception by Christain Jungersen. It may give you some interesting insight into your own mean psyche&quot;

Maybe this book will help you and Mallory to understand yourselves as this whole blog started with an evil comment and being terrible to other people like Nadal, making fun of him and comparing him with a monkey and, of course, in the middle of the &quot;super-article&quot; she had to mention herself and what she was doing at the time of the match. But you had a reason for doing it in this case, as he is by far more accomplished and better than you. So pointing out his faults nobody will look at your own.

If you had really understood that book you wouldn&#039;t have replied to Etienne comment.

You get a life!!!

I doubt</description>

		<description>&quot;Bye people, do not worry, I will not get into this blog again, I am out of the circle…….&quot;

We were excited for you not to post here ever again.  Don&#039;t you have friends of your own to occupy your time?  Get a life.  

And yes, Mallory does publish things, jerk.  And she gets paid for it, too.

		<description>I was wondering if Mallory has published something yet or if she has been discovered by an editor or something like that.

		<description>Roger did not meet Rafa in six Wimbledon finals, as Sinead correctly said. I am similar in that I feel the need to correct your facts, putting aside my own feelings about the players. Rafa has been to three. Roger has been to six. Rafa has PLAYED more than three Wimbledons, yes, but he has not been to six finals. 

Also, those little &quot;monogrammed&quot; things that Roger was wearing - they represent not only him but his foundation/charity. When his fans buy his RF / Roger Federer Foundation products, they support the charity too, not just him. 

The fragrance is a bit weird, yeah. But why not, when you are Roger Federer, your name on a cologne bottle will sell. 

Re. friendship with Tiger Woods - they both dominated their respective sports (Roger much more than Tiger in my opinion). Why not?

I love both Roger and Rafa. I just think you should get your facts right before you have an opinion. that&#039;s all.</description>

		<description>Okay. So I am an avid, bordering on obsessive fan, of both Federer and Nadal. Naturally I disagree with some of the stuff you&#039;ve said. But opinions that I disagree with aside, I&#039;m actually here to complain about your facts. Seriously, if you&#039;re going to do blog reports about a sport, make sure the facts relating to that sport are correct. Especially big things such as, oh, how many times a certain player has made the final of a tournament-

Rafael Nadal has NOT been in six Wimbledon finals. Roger has, yes, but not Rafa. Rafa has been in the last three (2006, 2007 and 2008). Roger&#039;s run started in 2003, and he won five years in a row before being upset by Nadal this year.

Yes, I realise that I&#039;m very late to comment on this blog, but whatever. I&#039;m a nit-picker, and my annoying nature causes me to correct your mistake no matter how long ago you made it.

And just for interest&#039;s sake, Roger&#039;s long term girlfriend/fiancee/wife? Just his girlfriend at the moment. Girlfriend and manager.

Over and out.</description>
