You may remember me from such emails as "Also, your name implies you are Jewish"
Poor Troy. Confused by all these interwebs. He writes:
My response:
UPDATE: the hilarity continues, as Troy's blustering responses to me grow less comprehensible and more riddled with typos. He insists that he doesn't care if Mark Steyn is Jewish or not because some of his best friends, etc. HOWEVER, "other people" will look at Steyn's "Jewish" last name and therefore disregard his arguments.
So I suppose Mark Steyn should change his name to something not-as-Jewish-sounding, to avoid annoying all these mysterious anti-semitic Other People, whose tender feelings and easily closed minds so concern Mr. Marquis for some reason.
Troy also wanted to know if "Mark Steyn is reading these emails". It only occurs to me now that I should have replied, "No, but his golem is."
Dear Kathy Shaidle,
Please remove my writing from your website.
Also, if you would be so kind as to tell me how you acquired the email I sent to Mr. Steyn I would appreciate it.
Thank you,
Troy Marquis
My response:
Dear Troy,
Your email is up at Mark Steyn's website, so everyone and their grandpa can do whatever they want with it now.
If you don't like being accused of being a jumped up little anti-Semite with a name like a porn star, you shouldn't send ignorant, arrogant emails to your betters in the first place.
And no, despite my last name, _I'm_ not Jewish either. I get asked that a lot, but regret to say I have no connection to that noble race.
Regards
