we're all your friends here![]()
Let's just be fair here for a moment. Pretty much everyone who gets a sarcastic response from the editor has it coming. You write a stupid letter, then expect to be treated like a stupid person. It's that simple.
He doesn't suffer fools gladly, does he?
If NAG has taught me anything, it is that I should read more carefully
before dashing off a letter to the editor.
Did I kick myself when I realised what I had missed!
Still, I enjoy reading the remarks on the letters page
as well as the opinion pieces. All of them. I think I still have
MIktar and Antioch's podcasts at home somewhere too.![]()
Lol! Tender egos never disappoint on an entertaining level![]()
...except when it turns into war, but then even CNN gets the entertainment spin right at times...

stupid by who'se standards? by your obviously self-important inflated standards, the standard of someone who writes the reviews? or by the standard of the 14yo who is writing the letter, hoping to get it published in the magazine he loves? Seriously, not everyone writes eloquently and with purpose, but they usually write the best they can, and getting smacked in the face by the editor for their troubles is a little uncool.
For us sure, we understand that.. its like writing to luis in PCF, you're gonna get a bollocking no matter what, but maybey he does need to consider that a large protion of his readerbase is not going to understand, and will probably be offended.
(PS. im not saying you're 14 Gradius :-P)
