In my experience, most "Editor's notes" serve only to placate the dull-witted and the politically correct (often the first to fire off emails) as is the case here.

I wanted to placate the dull-witted. Way too many people who respond without reading first. I wanted to make sure I didn't get the same damned email over and over again on how mean I was for running the piece.

Well, you shouldn't placate them. Let the talking monkeys send their email. Just keep deleting it and go about the business of running your magazine.
