Well, what can I say about this gem of a letter? Obviously, the doofus totally missed the point of the article, "Jeff, the Jerk." In fact, this boil on the butt of humanity was so dumb, he actually argued back to me the very gist of what the article was about: that although I can't stand Jeff Probst's attitude, I have to admit that without him Survivor wouldn't be Survivor. Apparently, "toppleman" is a few lessons short of a Reading is Fundamental Course and should stop watching his usual TV fare-- like "Barney the Dinosaur"-- and try raising his IQ a few points by watching more challenging stuff like "Sesame Street." Of course, singing frogs and talking muppets may be a little too taxing for him, so I suggest he turn it down a notch and watch Mr. Rogers Neighborhood instead, where they talk to you real nice and slowwwwwwwww so you can understand things better.

At any rate, I responded to "toppleman" immediately, and the very next day got not one-- but two-- responses:

and by the way, be less condescending, and life will be more enjoyable.
xxxooo toppleman

Ouch! That really hurt!

Hate mail is great, ain't it? It makes you realize why animals eat their young and wonder why they don't do it more often.

Well, "toppleman," I've gotta say that you really put me in my place with your zingers in the hate mail you've sent me. I'm really hurting-- with laughter, that is! Oh, and one more thing--

You're an asshole-- thanks for asking.

Man, who would have thought that pre-ejaculation woes could make a person so irritable?

Why would you create a web site and cancel it, you stupid
bandwagon-jumping twerp?
Screw you..... Survivor rules!
(and I'm sure you have so many more 'realities' to amuse you)

-somebody loyal.

Of course I have so many other realities to deal with. I live in New York City, and after the 11th, Reality Television has lost its edge. That was one of the reasons why I shut the site down, but why tell everyone that by bumming them out? Ah, but never mind-- let's allow Steve to congratulate himself for being such a loyal fan of a television show while people with lives congratulate themselves for accomplishments much more worthy-- like saving a human life, teaching a child, and parenting.
