I received hate mail yesterday

"Dear Fucking Dick

Remember when you were going around calling people bigots a few weeks back when you were screaming for the president to sign an executive order overturning it. You are a hypocrite spreading your own personal hate. It's too bad you had to be a complete an utter asshole toward several people even when they pointed out that DOMA was before the SC. People like you don't support the president because you are a one trick pony, that is you whine and scream because you didn't get it NOW. Rot in hell..."

I'm sorry you had to get such a nasty note and I feel sorry for the sender for the hate they seem to hold in their heart.

Sad for all.

Others may have been similarly sent hate mail from that person; coming forward publicly with who did it may encourage other hate victims with coming forward themselves.

Several years ago, something similar happened to me - I immediately reported it to the admins and they banned the poster and Skinner personally wrote to me to apologize.

Just remember that a lot of the assholes around here just lost their favorite chew today yesterday. You shouldn't have to take their shit ever again and Skinner needs to start banning them for what they clearly are. The people who have been holding LGBT rights over people's heads as...well, I could go on, but we all know what the problem is. Hopefully the Admins will too.

How exactly is his life negatively affected by anything you, or anyone on here, does? In other words, what the hell is he so angry about?
