The comments sound kind of mild compared with some of the replies I've received from journalists whose e-mail addresses were published at the end of their insanely leftist articles in the newspaper. The women are the most vicious--and spell the very worst too.
"The women are the most vicious..."
I've worked in retail for about the last two years--let me assure you, this phenomenon is not limited to the web.
You too? I have got some really vicious emails back from some so called journalists that I disagreed with! They are just so angry!
You've noticed that, too, huh?
I have the privilege (and I'm certain it's not a "rare privilege") of being insulted by Geneva Overholser, the then ombudsperson of the Washington Post -- one-time editor of the Des Moines Register and otherwise a sainted icon of the liberal newspaper community.
Because I questioned the Post's coverage (that is, non-coverage) of the Jesse Dirkhising affair, she felt free to dub me a "bigot", "a David Duke".
I found myself wondering at the crudity and viciousness of her response to what had been a very polite and civilized note: "How does she know I'm not a major stockholder?"
Ms. Overholser no longer works at the Post. And it is my understanding that one of her nasty responses was, indeed, to a major shareholder...
