You poor soul. You are truly lost. Your e-mail is so childish and immature it doesn’t deserve a response. Please watch your blood pressure.

Seemingly, he didn’t notice the fact that for the most part, I simply repeated his own words back at him. So I wrote him back and thanked him for affirming my opinion of him, which was that he was childish and immature.

Yes, life is good :)

  1. I love how important they think they are. Childish and immature? Did he even read your email?

    Sigh. This is the typical response given by people who read a good point and have nothing to say. You got to him, H. Good job! (;

  2. I’m sure he didn’t read it. I don’t see how he could have, since as you saw, I mostly relied on turning his own words back on them, sometimes even repeating them back virtually verbatim. But hey, he wrote me back when I pointed that out to him and told me I was spam. Made me proud!

  3. Intellectual inferiority at it’s best. “What, logic? Reason? I’ll just counter that with some good old name calling, pity, and and project my own immaturity on others!”

    I think you successfully showed what kind of person you’re dealing with. Good job, Hrafnkell.

  4. Jenn, thanks. Yes, a curious inability on his part to see his own words come back at him. He certainly shone like an intellectual star, didn’t he?

  5. If this person is male, I say “what a prick.”

    If this person is female, I say “what a bitch.”

    Choose whichever applies.

  6. Silver Heron, thanks. He’s a guy, and I agree with your assessment.

    He had no valid argument to make so rather than debate me rationally he belittled and attacked, just as he did atheism in his “article.”

    It’s really a shame that a local paper will print nonsense like his on a regular basis. It gives it an aura of legitimacy it does not possess or deserve.
