After reading these "messages", I'm torn between revulsion and hilarity. At any rate, I had to laugh out loud at several of these gems. It must be a bit of a stress reliever to share these love letters which you have received over the years. As you say, ever onward.
big belly laughs from me. What a bunch of sickies out there. As always thank you for lightening up the ugly news out there. And from me just, "love, love, love, love."
Your collection that you shared is great for its humor, if not their sentiments. Great proof that your work was successful! It still is.
If you really miss being excoriated from time to time, you could as some of us, true fans, to from time to time to work in some semi-classic zingers. Obviously they don’t have to be accurate or even literate, and some fake identities could be created.
(I would possibly use “ErorricTrump” or Karii Pond’s foundling son, Puddle.) Think about it; it might be entertaining and diverting in a warped way. Or not. Might. Might not. Might. Might not. Probably a bad idea. Yep. Nope. Yep. Nope. Definitely!
The letters certainly gave me a laugh or two. Seems like none of the haters finished grade school, given their grammar and spelling. However, they were also frightening, as they often felt they had to threaten you with bodily harm in order to make their points. The commentators at the County Supervisors meeting were horrifyingly ignorant, which is scary By the way, I looked up the one "gentleman's" reference to the gold fringe meaning we are under maritime law. Unsurprisingly, that is not true and has been so deemed by several court decisions. No hate mail from this reader; just eternal thanks for continuing to fight the good fight!
I sometimes wish that I could have stirred up the emotions of idiots the way you could. And those were the ones who could read the paper, so a higher caliber than your average idiot! In my 46 years as a lawyer, I think the worst I ever got was: "Your client is getting his advice in the wrong tavern." My client and I loved that one. I almost had it framed.
P.S. Look up the origin of the word "assassin" when you have a chance.
Reading the editorials including the cartoons in the Arizona Daily Star is the highlight of my day. On the Opinion side of the paper that reminds us of the “ Diversity of thought is critical for Democracy” and the opposite side of the paper know as Letters To The Editor - Another View/Honest Poll; I can’t help but be reminded of the Good, The Bad and the Ugly. I can laugh, cry and swear all within a matter of minutes. I totally enjoy your opinions and views on your Substack. Of course, it helps I agree with you 🤣💕.
Fitz - I hope you get more love comments than hate. I, too, hope that fat blond has his mac and cheese hit his arteries. I appreciate and enjoy all your thoughts and messages. Keep up the good work. Put me on the love comment list. Glennda (with 2 n's - ;-}
I haven’t laughed so hard in ages! Thank you for an outstanding article and I am SO glad it was only lightly edited for clarity. You are the best!

I, for one, would like to point out that 'tits on a javelina' are kind of required, if you're a mama javelina...
[after carefully double-checking that 'you're' was spelled and used correctly!] 8-)
Absolutely love these, thanks for the laughs. Keep on doing your thing!
Oh my goodness. I don’t know what I laughed at the most, your post or these replies! Love your work!!

"Love it or love it" ??? Well, given those two choices, I choose to love it! Love you too, man!

Priceless. Reading this was a great way to start my day!
You wonder about his heart arteries; I hope for an internal intestinal explosion.
Love you, man! Keep on truckin'!

And from Glenna...with two n's. Also have been called Glennda MANY times.
Don,,t degrade mac and cheese. The lunch for all first graders don,t need to be reminded of the pig that eats it probably 7 days a week
I am happy you have such a strong sense of self. A lesser man would have difficulty letting all of that slide. Keep up the good work! No hating here.
