Why the hostility?

I'm a writer. I'm trying to get your message out to the world

What is it?

: Why the hostility?

Because of the pointless and insulting mail from you. You make stupid
assumptions about us and wonder why we would be hostile?

: I'm a writer. I'm trying to get your message out to the world

If you can't figure out the answers to your vague questions, how are we
supposed to?

: What is it?

Why do you assume we have a message that is summed up in one line?

This is getting too weird.

You don't give me the benefit of the doubt, but chastise me for not giving
it to you?

You're don't have a chip on your shoulder, you have a whole log cabin on it.

Read your original mail.

: : : : : You realize, of course, eventually you're gonna get caught.

If you do not realize how absurd and stupid those questions are, quit
mailing me. YOU began this inane thread with accusations. You accused us
of something and implied it was illegal.

So what?

That was my opening salvo. And I'll offer you a tip: you responded just like
a guilty person. That's why I'm so surpised. You not even cool. Had you'd
been cool you'd have blown it off. Wrote back with and fucked with my mind a
little -- but you didn't do this. You acted like I caught you with your
pants down or something. You acted like you were scared as hell.

Stop running so scared, man. You're probably right. There's nothing you're
doing that's illegal.

It is so amazing how poorly you read mail and people.

In case you couldn't glean it from the e-mail, we get that same stupid
quesiton from so many other stupid net users, it eventually grates on our
nerves.

learn to read. it would prevent stuff like this from happening.

Learn to handle yourself more professionally. I've been on the net probably
since before you were born and never got a reaction like yours from a web
page. My first post was tongue and cheek but you're so unsophisticated you
played it like it was notice of a FBI wire-tap.

You're a rookie, dude.

So your first mail said when you called us all 'kids', despite one of the
staff being 36. 

I am simply amazed that despite all your years on the net, you haven't
learned to develop rudimentary communication skills in all that time. Your
first mail still makes me laugh out loud.

: You're a rookie, dude.

And you most certainly are NOT a writer. If you are, I imagine you are
homeless and mailing me from a public library.

All right, let's cut it out, huh?

I tried to befriend you, you told me to take a hike.

Fine

S

Yes, I did. And you wouldn't take the fucking hint.
