Dear slothrop666 at yahoo.com
Forgive my temerity in addressing you directly and publically. While I
understand that you envisage yourself to be some inspired vigilante
raining down righteous thunderclaps of wrath upon those specific
individuals you have decided deserve it -- and I fully applaud the open
and honest way you go about venting your spleen and frustrations, very
therapeutic for you I'm sure and much preferable to the nasty little
insinuations and cold shoulders other would-be park rangers proffer in
order to register their disapprobation or displeasure hereabouts -- I
would like to draw your attention to the fact that "multiple
personalities" has never been one of my calls. Perhaps a course in basic
literacy is in order? What I have made are certain assertions about a
lister or listers, whether with motive fair or foul I cannot hazard,
manipulating a series or swathe of personas, fictitious voices created
and maintained intentionally and duplicitously by a single author; of
which, I might add, you yourself are one, sir or ms, and have thus, at
least partially, validated the claim. However, I would also like to add
here that I have expressed no aversion to schizophrenics or those under
sway of any other authentic personality disorder or psychological mania
and do not mean to denigrate the stunted or deprived or awry psyche of
your owner at all, and, in regard of which seemingly inevitable
potentiality I assay every earnest solicitation to him, her or it. If in
future you would be so kind as to amend your persecutory diatribes
accordingly I would be enormously gratified.
Respectfully, etc.
