What must it be like to get mail like this every damn day?

I am sorry though, that your writing is amateurish and lacks any basis in scholarship. In fact, your title has nothing to do with your article and your article reads more like Simulacra and Simulations by Jean Baudrillard (if you do not know who he is you can go on wikipedia). (...)

Also, your name implies that you are Jewish. Whether or not you are is irrelevant, but that because your names sounds Jewish, you have no credibility when you speak about Christianity or the Christian world, which, in case you did not get my point, robs you of credibility.

That bit's by one Troy Marquis -- that's troy@troymarquis.com -- from right here in Toronto, who claims to be a professional writer (and not, as his name implies, a guy who co-starred in such minor straight-to-video classics as Bahama Butt Boys IV).

Which is pretty hilarious cuz he managed to misspell "proofread".

And piss me off.

Don't piss me off, Troy.

UPDATE: You're right Krista...

Kathy, you forgot the BEST PART of that guy's rant... I think I'm going to embroider this on a pillow...

"You come across like someone running around in a circle screaming inarticulably."

PLUS an update.
