Read other letters about this article
It seems that just about everything I read online lately (especially Salon, under the new format) is followed by somebody bitching about how they can't stand the author, subject matter, website, etc. I am amazed that so many people out there read about things that don't interest them, then take the time to write snarky letters or make nasty posts about it. If I am not interested in something, I don't waste my time reading about it, and I certainly don't waste my time writing letters about it.
To the people who -apparently- seek out things they don't like so they can write nasty letters about it...
YOU HAVE TOO MUCH TIME ON YOUR HANDS. Jeez. Get a hobby.
