Hey,
I like reading your blog, but I could really do without the Daily Dose of Ingersoll. I guess I’m not sure of the reason why you’ve decided to dedicate a post a day to this guy, but I’d like it much more if I didn’t have to skip over it. Is there a way I can subscribe to your RSS feed without the Ingersoll?
What’s with the daily dose, anyway?
Jeff
Hi Jeff,
There’s a really simple way to read the blog without reading the Daily Dose of Ingersoll. When you get to the Ingersoll post, DON’T FUCKING READ IT.
Best,
Chris

HAHAHA. Never mind.
The original emailer was giving his opinion in a polite way. Totally uncalled for brutality on Chris’s part.
Yes, Chris, you have the right to post what you want and the rest of the world isn’t the boss of you. But every time you post one of these letters of someone asking a misguided but polite question, you respond with pure venom. To be perfectly frank, you just come off sounding like a jerk, when, compared to the normal tenor of your posts, I just don’t think you normally are a jerk.
Maybe you couldn’t care less that that’s how you sound, but I’m surprised at how mean spirited your responses to these types of emails are, and even more surprised at how willing many of your commenters are to cheer you on. I agree with your substantive philosophies here, but I think there’s value in being polite and civil to other people, including those who you think are idiots.
