Good Grief!! Talk about hate mail
I happened upon a site called Church Of The Flying Spaghetti Monster. It was a Stumble recommendation so I thought I’d check it out. After looking at a few pictures on the front page I clicked through to ‘About’ as you do, and found an interesting sub-page entitled Hate Mail.
I’ve had only one hate mail in all my half a year of blogging and it was fairly sick but boy does this selection of hate mail take the biscuit.
I didn’t get as far as seeing what the site was really all about but my initial reaction to scanning a couple of posts made me think it was a spoof site designed by a bored individual trying to find ways to continue the theme of the ‘Spaghetti Monster’.
Now I’m not so sure, but I’m not going to invest any further time finding out as I have ironing and cleaning and dishes and cooking to do.
I just thought that those of you with a broad minded nature might be interested to see some of the hate mail.
Be Warned: There’s plenty of bad language.

My favourite comment, of the ones I read, was the ‘it may be a free country……’
I got so much hate mail when I used the word a___bt–n which was the title of an article on a post…I am not sure I want to check this out…
did you give Tara the chocolate…that might be a good talisman to keep hate mail away?

LOL I must admit I found so many of the messages to be somewhat contradictory. I too enjoyed that particular message.
Patricia
The messages at that site are pretty distasteful. Might be worth you giving it a miss.
Tara must have turned over a new leaf. Honestly, I really thought she’d be banging my door down to get to the good stuff. I felt sure the 150 mile journey wouldn’t prevent her from turning up on my front door. It seems she now has amazing will power.
I’ve only had one person leave a negative comment on my site. It was actually kind of funny. At least I thought so. I had was kidding around with a Canadien friend in my comments and I called him something I had heard in the movie “Strange Brew.” I called him a ‘knob.” Some other reader, aparently from Canada, took offense. Their biggest complaint was that I misspelled Canadien. I think I went with Canadian at the time. Canadien/Canadian I think I’ve seen it both ways. Only an ignorant American would do such a thing!
Thanks for the reply Dave….My tour to England, Scotland and Wales just got canceled…I think I could compose some pretty awful hate mail myself today! 20 years I have been saving money and working on this experience ugh! D*m^
I haven’t really had any hate mail although there have been a few comments accusing me of being some sort of classist food snob. Heh.
I do get hateful comments from the posters on the forums. Apparently I’m a control freak with piddling rules and a superiority complex. Yet they come back every day, so I must not be trying hard enough.
Turf Dad
LOL you knob. So they weren’t at all bothered about you calling one of them a ‘knob’? I’ll assume that ‘knob’ means the same in the US, Canada and the UK.
Patricia
That’s a bummer to be sure. Sorry to hear that. Don’t bother writing your own hate mail, just cut and paste one from the link above.
Hope you manage to salvage some of you plans.
Tracy
Of course you’re a food snob. Who the hell doesn’t love ‘A Whole Chicken In A Can’?
I don’t know what your rules are but it sounds like you need to tighten them up a bit. The people on your boards have far too much freedom of speech. Don’t let them get away with it!
That site is pretty famous. You do get that the site is satire, right? It’s essentially atheist humor. Some of my hate mail seems to have come from the same place as theirs.
BloggerDad
I assumed it to be satire when I viewed the first couple of pages but then when I read the hate mail there seemed to be so many serious responses, it made me question my initial assessment.
I can’t believe you’ve had any hate mail. You’re far too much of a sweetheart. *Mwah*
