Recently, a FBRP Reader wrote an angry missive accusing Number One Pavement Contributor BWiehler of being nothing more than a figment of The Fan Boy Rant Page Staff's imagination.   BWiehler isn't taking the accusation lying down and checks in with the following:  

If this isn't Barbara, we don't want to know who it is... This letter is in response to the idiot who thinks Barbara Wiehler is an "imaginary Web Celebrity," some figment of the imagination of a horny, mouth-breathing, sweaty-palmed, pop-culture obsessed, self-proclaimed Webmaster who never developed the social skills to meet real people, but instead perches at his keyboard, inventing imaginary celebrities when he's not obsessively learning new programming languages and sneaking occasional furtive glances over his shoulder at "Space Ghost Coast to Coast" on TV.

NO!   There may be such a Webmaster and the Fan Boy Rant page may be the most accessible product of his out-of-control imagination, but BARBARA WIEHLER IS A LIVING, BREATHING PERSON!   A goddess to be sure, but a mortal woman!   And let no one assume that the notoriety generated by Barbara's submission to the FBRP has contributed to an ego gone completely out of control...   she is a generous, perceptive, intelligent, thoughtful, beautiful human being...  incredibly modest despite her ascendance into the pantheon of Internet deities like Glenn Davis or others.   So let's have no more accusations that the FPRB Webmaster may be indulging his febrile fantasies by inventing celebrities...   Barbara Wiehler walks among us!   And I know because she is a personal friend of mine.   My greatest dream is to attain the level of Web celebrity that she has achieved in her brief but shining moment in cyberspace.   All hail Barbara!

I agree! Barbara is Good!

How do I know the staff didn't make up this Noreen chick as well?
