As fun as it is to see 60 comments in every leadership post I put up, one thing we’ve seen all too often this campaign on various blogs has been the “anonymous drive by smearing”. You know the ones I’m talking about:

“I have a friend who has worked very closely with Martha Hall Findlay and he assures me that Martha is an ungodly horror to work with. She never flushes the toilet in public restrooms and gives out dental floss to kids at Halloween instead of candy.
-Anonymous”

Of course, the Anons who think they’re really clever will try and peg it on another leadership camp:

“I have heard from people who know Martha Hall that she rips the wings off of pigeons in the park, so that she can watch them suffer. My candidate, Carolyn Bennett, would never ever do that and she is going to win on the first ballot!
-A well connected Ottawa Liberal”

So, as a public service announcement, ignore the trolls (except for “Toronto Liberal”, who is, truth be told, pretty darn funny).
