A reasoned response to my political rant
Evidently, a local citizen does not entirely agree with my views as expressed in my letter to the editors of the Ann Arbor News. This evening, I found a envelope in my mailbox, lying on the bottom under the rest of the mail with an un-postmarked stamp taped to it (suggesting the sender actually took the trouble to visit my home). He was kind enough to give me an extra clipping of my letter. I scanned his note, and have tried to reproduce all his spelling and punctuation exactly. I have added descriptive notes in parentheses. Charmingly, the letter was typed, not word-processed. It was signed with an illustration, and as soon as aol lets me, I will upload it and link to it. I am placing the text of he note behind a cut because of length and offensive language.


Faggott-

Massachusetts a very liberal state at best would support faggott marriage, those liberal bias ass-holes are alike you 100% , if Michigan lowers it's self to your level, I just might move to Australia, you faggotts wont be happy until you corrupt all you can.

Marriage belongs to a man & women not faggots, you fuck-heads will and have corrupted kids by the thousands and that's a fact, corrupt your own not kids and innocent people, the last time a faggott said something to me he had to go to a dentist for serious dental work.

Fuck your ass-hole lover, not kids or anyone else, you cock-suckers get in my way, there will serious results in your need for medical help, against you faggotts you bet! no marriage allowed.

Your a heterosexual may ass, you faggott lover, go live in a goddamn cave where you belong, who gives a flying fuck what gay marriage advocates think, your states fuck (the syllable "ments" inserted between the lines after "states")are so fucking ignorant, I am single and happy, I sure in hell don't need a faggott, a women is my choice, your marriage must be a real joy, you would not be Bi would you?

Its a damn disgrace for same sex marriage, God or Jesus Christ did not and does not except anything but xxxxxxxx (x's are covering the words "same sex") man and women in marriage, you want to be a faggott, do it someplace other then man kind, the America flag does not cover being a faggott ass-hole.

I am especially amused that this fellow twice indicates that marriage is for a "man and women."

I wonder if Australia is his location of choice because he heard the Monty Python "No Poufter's" sketch?

I consider the threats to be akin to the pain from the needle stick when giving blood. A tiny inconvenience that gives me the illusion of having courage. For that reason, I will always treasure this little missive--it's going straight to my scrapbook.

Though I think I will try to be a little better about keeping my door locked for the next week or two.

Gee, I haven't heard such crude invective since Junior Highschool.

Poor fellow. I hope he (from the word-usage I presume it is a "he") doesn't try something violent and end up in one of our understaffed jails or prisons, in forced commingling with the Sodomites that he apparently so fears.

Well. It does show which side the stupid people are on.

I suppose he sent it directly to you because a smarter friend convinced him that the newspaper wouldn't publish it. I had a quick try at converting it to something a newspaper would publish without losing its unique flavor and came up with:

(chunk of burning wood)-

Massachusetts a very liberal state at best would support (chunk of burning wood) marriage, those liberal bias (donkey)-(burrows) are alike you 100% ,...

which I don't think really covers the issue with the same pungency.

Good for you, Peter. You can often tell the quality of a person by the quality of his or her enemies. :-)

Yes, you might want to be a little more careful about locking your door for the next few days. It might be worthwhile to store the letter somewhere for a bit, too.

I am glad I didn't have a mouthfull of hot coffee or tea when I read that letter.

Clearly the respondent, by specifying "man and women," supports the type of marriage as defined in the Bible. I'm sure the respondent also believes marriage should not interfere with a man's ability to take on concubines, and that when a man dies, the deceased's brother is obligated to marry the man's widow.

I found this after being on your wife's website...that is really amazing stuff. I never would've realized that so many people's mindsets are still of about 500 years ago or so. At least back then they seemed to be more cautious with grammar.
