Reply #8: down to their level

[msanger]

I (actually ) was recently the subject of a major "freeper" attack. The merchants I listed were e-bombed, and I received about 20 or 30 emails - most of them questioning my intelligence, patriotism, and sexual orientation.

I wrote back to all of them, treating them as if they were actually intelligent human beings who had a different idea than I did about how to make the world a better place.

Two of them wrote back very intelligent, thoughtful e-mails.

We don't agree politially, but we do agree we are all human beings. And somehow "repuke" makes them less than humnan. Which seems like a bad thing to do to anybody.

Being Jewish and all, I'm sensitive about that kind of thing.
