E-mailer Tsquires did not appreciate
my Sunday column on what I see as the scorched-earth misinformation campaign against the judiciary being waged by opponents of legal gay marriages:
We don't have to assume you are too stupid to understand the judicial system, you prove it every time you attempt to write a clever, albeit, condescending, column once a week on the topic. It amazes me how little knowledge and curiosity you have regarding the Constitution and our Founders. How does being a neutral observer equate to rubber-stamping the Legislature? The fact is, it doesn't! What you call a three ring circus is exactly how the process is supposed to work. It is messy, slow, and ugly. Face it Todd, there is a reason you are on the OPINION page! What you try to pass as fact is simply your opinion. But I do want to thank you for one thing. After being a Gazette subscriber for more than 25 years, because of the current "staff writers", all of whom hold the same OPINION on every issue, when my current subscription runs out, I too will join the thousands of others who no longer want to support individuals such as yourself with our hard earned money. I don't want a single penny of mine going to your financial support. You've proven over and over what you are all about, and it isn't about facts and "journalism". I'll give you a year and the paper less than three. Don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out. Remember. "Out Magazine"!
