Hate Mail

I received in the mail today my first piece of hate mail.

It was rather benign -- but still, I would classify it as hate mail. This is how it read:

"THEY ARE CALLED THE RAT (underlined)
PACK,,,,,NOT THE BRAT (underlined) PACK

LOOKS LIKE YOU NEED TO DO A
LITTLE MORE RESEARCH"

There was no signature and it was delivered in a plain #10 envelope with simple computer printed address, that was outdated and the post office had to forward it to me.

There was also no reference to what the writer was referring to, and the most important, there was no signature. That makes the writer, a COWARD.

If you really believe in the conviction of what you are writing, have the strength, the intestional fortitude, the guts, to put your name to it. Or else, your opinion really doesn't have much merit.

Not only that, this writer doesn't understand the use of ellipsis. When writing,
"THEY ARE CALLED THE RAT
PACK,,,,,NOT THE BRAT PACK,

the writer should have written,
"THEY ARE CALLED THE RAT
PACK, NOT THE BRAT PACK.

Ellipses are reserved for text, "to indicate an omission or suppression of letters or words (Dictionary.com)."

The second sentence:
LOOKS LIKE YOU NEED TO DO A
LITTLE MORE RESEARCH

The writer didn't pay any attention to the indent of the first line or the punctuation, again.

If you want to send me hate mail, please be accurate, and at least reference what you are talking about. Sending me an anonymous letter with poor punctuation and no indication of what you are referring to does no good to get my attention other than to tear your letter apart.
