FROM THE (ELECTRONIC) MAILBAG
You publish such sweet and touching letters. I dare you to publish this.
How does it feel to finally grasp that you are a worthless piece of sh-t [redacted]?
You've been bitching on about the good your site accomplishes and how hard you work, blah, blahlala. You've been doing this to people who should actually care. Well, pal, they don't.
I don't want to be mean. Actually I do.
Don't you feel like a total moron?
By your own admission 99% of your readers don't give a flying f-ck [redacted]. They've ignored you. They won't even send you the cost of a cup of coffee or even a subway ride to keep your site alive.
Liberals, buddy, support their cause. Ever heard of "micro-donations"? Contrary to your racist notions, even our poor help out for "the cause".
You are a sucker for throwing your life away for a cause that even those who claim to believe in won't support.
Chew on that and CHOKE!
