After being on the receiving end of a torrent of abuse from a BNP supporter on the strength of something I posted on Facebook a few months back, I've now had my first angry email from a reader about one of my articles. Notoriety is mine at last.
Leaving aside petty criticisms of his spelling, punctuation and grammar (as satisfying as they may be), what makes it all the more entertaining is that he has no point whatsoever.
Here's the email, in all its inarticulate glory.
Subject: What gave YOU the right to talk total crap on my behalf ?
Wow !! now I know what a total pratt and f#cking idiot low life journalists that work for silly little newspapers like you do !!
DONT EVER EVER SPEAK ON MY BEHALF YOU TOSSER !
Your story on how redbridge dont want Nuclear weapons is sh1t like you..
How many people did you ask ?
What were their ages ?
What area of Redbridge did you poll?
What % of your crap poll said what ?
How many were undecided ?
This is what makes you a f#cking idiot... NO ONE I know wants rid of any of our Nuclear weapons or subs..
What a total prick you are.
Sad that you are just a liar working for a silly little newspaper !
Lets do a poll on what the public think of journalists workiong for 2 bob papers desperate to pull a story ! hahahahaha
And here's the article to which he so eloquently refers.
A print-out of this now takes pride of place on the noticeboard beside my PC monitor, and I now have an abuse folder in Outlook.
And, as my colleague said as we laughed about after it had done the rounds in the office:
1.) He hasn't read my story in full, because it details the sample.
2.) He's getting confused between the messenger and the story.
3.) I must be doing something right to get an email like this.
