Letters to the Editor

For all we know, God IS the Hallmark Card.
"Oh sure people can have their intellectual discussions in their personal lives if others are like-minded, but why foist this on other people in our daily lives."
I am going to try to say this with the minimum of sarcasm, although it may be difficult. What did you expect to find on a message board, particularly with regard to this subject? Clearly you came to this site for some reason, and I would be interested to know what you were looking for? Why are you here in this public forum if open discussion of such things offends your delicate sensibilities (oh drat - there goes that sarcasm again)?
(I particularly enjoy how you use sarcasm to chastise sarcasm: "Thank Goddess for Salon where we can discuss anything and insult others at will. I cannot imagine what outlet I would possibly have for my sarcasm and aggression if I could not come here.")
Why would you go to an advice page if you weren't interested other people's dirty laundry? I mean, if you want to have your voyeuristic thrill eavesdropping on other people's lives, please don't be a hypocrite about it!
And then to try to wash it all down with a load of kitschy sentimentality, with evocations of "what's really important in life" and sanctimonious appraisals of other people's lives - well, it really is a bit much.
Don't participate in the discussion if you feel yourself so above it.
