To Every Iowan
Look, I'm tired of getting e-mails complaining about my complaining about Iowa. I don't live there anymore. It seems that more than a few of you were upset with my opinion of a local coffee shop. Well, sorry – but Java Joe's still sucks. If you can't deal with brute honesty, then that's your problem – not mine. Here's a tip: personal attacks don't usually help these kinds of situations. Better brewing, however, works wonders. You might consider replacing that chip on your shoulder with a smaller model. That way, you might be able to see that I also dislike some coffee shops in San Francisco as well. I'd tell you to kiss my ass, but you're apparently already familiar with the flavor.

Some of us “Iowan's” didn't send you any hate mail about your Java Joes comments Mr. Worldly. Your reaction to the emails though is pretty funny. It reminds me of the way my 6 year acts at the grocery store when she doesn't get a piece of candy. I'm not sure the people sending those emails are the ones who have the “chip”.

I think that's a good idea Drew. Particularly since I'm not a fan of people who stereotype or lump people together in groups because of the behavior of a handful of mis-guided souls. Thanks for the advice and goodbye.

Well, I had thought of some comebacks, but honestly, I refuse to lower my standards to speaking in one syllable words so people, such as the blogger before me, would understand English. Chris, how about Gnomedex 2003 in California?

Iowan: “Your reaction to the emails though is pretty funny. It reminds me of the way my 6 year acts at the grocery store when she doesn't get a piece of candy.”
Ok, so let me get this straight… Your six year old comments that she would like some candy. You respond by sending her emails attacking her on a personal level because she wants candy. She then comments that she doesn't appreciate the complaints about her desire for candy, nor the personal attacks. That's how it goes?
