It’s the little things that make it all worthwhile. This just came in:
Dear Mr. Goldberg:
I hate your column. Go off and marry Ann Coulter, and do us all a favor: find yourselves a nice deserted island on which to live (where your bigoted value systems can’t be heard or read by good people) and never come back.
With disgust,
[Name withheld]
A reader that made the mistake of wasting her time by reading your repulsive column.
As is often the case, the lady in question doesn’t specify what, exactly, her objection to my column is. She could have read an old one, to be sure. But my latest column is on global warming and sunspots. I’m sure if I reread it closely, I’ll find evidence of my bigoted value system somewhere in there.
