Hallo-Grinch Inspires Super-Angry Responses

This Halloween in Miami was GREAT. Because it was on a Friday, we didn't have to worry as much about homework, or early bedtimes, because the Big Night was followed by a sleep in Saturday. And, the weather was flawless for the first Halloween in years down here. The past few years have been spent dodging raindrops, but this year? Close to perfect. So yeah, we had a great time trick-or-treating, and it seemed like there were more families than usual out and about in the neighborhood, which we liked. Even the neighbors answering doors commented on the increased numbers compared to previous years, and how great it was.
Not sure if it was the weather, or if there was a huge demographic shift in the area within the year, but is was so nice to have some company walking the neighborhood streets, and everyone was in a great mood!
Then, on Nov 1, I came across this on babble's Strollerderby blog. Wow, what a Halloween grinch! And double-wow at some of the ultra-hostile comments the post inspired! I mean, we all have pet peeves, and apparently Halloween Neighborhood Hoppers is one of this lady's peeves, but she does come off as snobby and exclusionary. Still, it's an entertaining read, and some of the stories the commenters tell ($75 worth of Halloween candy? Are you kidding me? Go to Big Lots already!) are fascinating to me. This Halloween article from the same website also inspired a lot of comments. I really like reading the babble.com, particularly the "Bad Parent" column, in part to read the crazy responses. Like so many parenting issues, people are just SO convinced that their way is the right way, and are often surprisingly willing to be downright mean, rude, and insulting from behind the anonymity of a computer keyboard.
