'YOU ARE A ^%$#-ING MORON!'
[MONDAY'S issue begins after this sidebar. But before going there, PLEASE read this large font, but actually short, letter. ]
You like to think of yourself as an altruist. You are no such thing. You are a pathetic fool and a self-destructive one at that.
The articles that I've found about you online say you are either 49 or 50 years-old. You've spent nearly half of those years publishing a site that, by your own admission, less than 1% of your "loyal JWRers" feel compelled to support.
I've seen several requests over the years asking people to pray for you. Can we rightfully conclude that you aren't in prime health? Let me say this bluntly: You are not well. Physically for sure. And mentally?
So we have a site that many people are gaining from and yet few give a [profanity] about. Well, at least not enough to support it. That site is published by a physically ill person who even fewer give a [profanity] about. And yet you, Jolkovsky, continue to publish. Forget "pathetic fool." You are a [profanity] moron!
You have wasted away your good years of earning potential and with your long, stressful days made yourself sick while struggling to change the world for the better. Did you succeed? Of course not! This is why most don't even try. But you still plow on. Brilliant!
Your "partners" - aka "readers" -- could care less.
99% of your readers, by the way, aren't that much better. More in reality, maybe, but certainly not better.
Digest this, doofus: Your site caters to a crowd that pretends to be religious and elevated. But are they? Instead of doing the "godly thing" and support your proxy war on immorality, injustice and the like on their behalf, they merely "eat your food" and run. They are users and takers and don't give a [profanity] about you. Still, you sacrifice for them. Huh!? Like I said, you are probably mental. Are you also delusional? In denial?
Holy [profanity], man! You think your articles matter? If they did, then you'd matter. Get it, godly genius? You don't.
This is the fourth time that I'm sending you this note. I know you won't have the cojones to publish it, but a right well mannered gent such as yourself should at least have the courtesy to acknowledge receiving it --- don't you think?
Oops! I forgot, you don't.
