Ted Rall, in addition to happily giving aid and comfort to the enemy(yes, an honest-to-badness betrayer of his country, and happy of it), is also a coward. From his email "guidlines":

I do not respond to threatening, obscene or completely negative (i.e., nothing but criticism) emails. This permits me to spend more time doing something constructive, like corresponding with people who understand and appreciate what I do.

Translation: I am a Big Puss and wont even attempt to explain or defend myself, unless it's on tv. And then only in a controlled setting. I only preach to the choir, thanks.

Well, that will allow him to write lengthy e-mails to both of those fans.
