A For Sure Ringer

Evelyn,
I took a staycation from your blog quite some time ago. You had my support last term, but this term I felt you were being marginalized by your own making. Misinformation passing as opinion does you no credit.
I don't give a rat's arse about last term anymore, or 50 years ago for that matter. Yeah, I was in town 50 years ago, but I'm pretty sure those that haven't been don't give a rat's behind either. Done, dusted, move the hell on already. Times have changed.
I dipped back into your blog today, and wish to hell I hadn't. It's like I fell into some parallel universe. There is a whole other town out there and you don't know about it. You obviously don't have the inside scoop at town hall, and rely far too much on a few cronies handing you a load of old cobblers. Why be their puppet?
Listen to real people for a change and get out in your community and celebrate what works well in the town.
How you can expend so much time and energy on shite?
Having not read your blog for quite some time, I can tell you that your view of town is a whole lot different than the average bloke on the block.
And it seems that Anonymous really is just one guy!
Crikey you let some crazies in your club.

*********************
I publish the comment to make  a  point.
It is severely critical..
Suggests the blog is not factual,
It misinforms .
I am out of the loop.
"anonymous" is only one person.
I rely on " a few cronies handing me a load of old cobblers"

The word "shite" spelled with an "e"  identifies the writer as a Scottish ex-pat  of my generation who  claims to have  lived in the town for as long as myself. 
The term . "old cobblers" could be Irish. Could be English. Not a phrase familiar to this old Scottish ex-pat. 
There are fewer of us  than there were. .
He is literate and articulate but uses slang to pretend otherwise. 
At his age he  cannot be  out and about himself much more than I..  Except  I am a Councillor and it does keep me in touch.
He claims I misinform people but cites no  example.
One could argue therefore, the only evidence of inclination to misinform is his.
He suggests  blog comments  really come from one person. Another unfounded allegation.
I  "marginalize myself." he says.
I should go out into  the community more, to understand, there is a different town out there than fifty years ago.
Like he would have a better reason to know that.
Since those who  read and share the blog know they are real, I do not need to prove that.
I  can comfortably declare this comment to be complete artifice;; a ringer in fact. 
We  are familiar with  the wise old saying
."Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive"
To the commenter. I say;
You are not on, my never- was  erstwhile friend or supporter.
We are not deceived "
