Yay! Hate mail at last!

Posted by Captain Comics on July 2, 2011 at 10:31pm in General Comics Discussions

I invite everyone to go to the Kevin Keller review in the blog area to read genuine hate mail! It's the first, and I imagine the last, I'll get on that review (it's been a couple of weeks). Still, I'm as proud as I can be. I'm important enough for complete strangers to hate me!

    I wish I had the same [sarcastic] elation as you Cap, but I'm mainly just saddened.

    Ha! I'm really happy that you're able to see the humor in this, Cap. Like Randy, I'm mostly saddened, but at the same time, I'm glad you're taking some joy in it. Admittedly, though, I love how this guy's imagination got away with him while Kev and this other guy spent some "alone time" in the "alley". Yeeeeeah, that's right where any normal person's mind would go, Charles!

    I definitely see the fun in getting hate mail.  It's nice to see you've made points that stick in the craw of idiots and bigots.  It means you made them think, but then you pushed them over capacity.

    I actually do feel a bit saddened that this guy has such a narrow, hate-filled view of the world. I'd feel pity for him, except that he has so much to hate -- about 90 percent of everything -- and he seems to enjoy hating so much, that he's probably happier than the rest of us.

    He sure devotes a lot of time to thinking about the manlove.

    I post to several different sites, and I have a tendency to be rather outspoken (I know I hide it well).  As a result I've actually gotten my share of hate mail.  I take Cap's attitude in finding it kind of fun because there's really no point in getting irate about it.

    I used to find letters from ignoramuses entertaining. I don't so much anymore.

    It's not really hate mail in the sense of "How dare you say that, Cap, you ignorant slut!" He's not hating on Cap so much, just on those guys who have made the choice to be bugs hanging out in alleys. And even then, it seems more disgust than white-hot hatred. Lots of ignorant bigotry, but, as hate mail, it's really pretty mediocre.

    "You'll get yours on Judgment Day!" is not a threat that keeps anyone up at night. The only answer is, "Yes. Yes I will."

    I never get hate mail. I was in some online flame wars back when I thought that mattered (ie, a decade or so ago), but most of the mail on my column is more of the "I love your column but..." type, in which they then go on to explain how I forgot a detail from some comic.

    I sometimes figure I should make a few mistakes, just to get that "I love your column but..." mail and then just stop reading at the "but." There's always a but.

    Not to pick nits, but there's most definitely another answer. :)

    You meant to say, "I love your posts, but."

    There's an implied (should there be one) in there. That seems like another argument, and I don't think the goal should be finding things to argue with this guy.
