Record hate mail

There is no end to the offense the reading public will take, sometimes. I actually had hate mail from a woman while writing about my soon-to-be-born son. I made some comment about how there'd been a bit of a medical scare with my (now) ex-wife and I was talking about how I'd prayed to God that she'd be OK and so would my Little Man.

The woman who wrote me had lost three children prior to/during childbirth and was basically criticizing me for not showing sensitivity to those who couldn't have children or had lost them.

Jesus wept. Literally.


And my favorite is STILL the woman who said we'd have to answer to God for downplaying the Dallas Cowboys after a victory, since God obviously loved the Cowboys.

 

I am constantly surprised at what people will take offense to. One of the delights of this profession.

 

I got my record dose o' hate for writing something unflattering about the late, great Coach Rupp. :

 

A-men. My wife, who writes a weekly lifestyle/humor column, gets some wacky e-mails.
