      <![CDATA[Ingleweird:  I called Betsy "Sweetie", and have even defended her and asked others to be more civil in their responses to her because she's raised her game and she's not anonymous, she's somebody's daughter. She has family and it must be hurtful to them to read some of the things written to and about her.

      <![CDATA[Betsy actually didn't pen this one. Apologies if you realized that and are just addressing her directly because this is typically her beat.
