Yes, I guess there are jerks everywhere and there's no reason to be surprised.<br /><br />@Alice I was intrigued by that notion of his account being hacked, but he appears to be the father of small children (rather than teens or pre-teens), so it's doubtful...<br /><br />@Rebecca I think you are so right.

The thing about horribly mean stuff like that is that the doer *never* thinks about it--he was probably drunk and would insist it was just a "joke."

That dude, whoever he is, is not interested in literary criticism.Rebecca Rosenblumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10859985178895250412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8275632351023557092.post-17160600868791506192013-05-07T17:28:37.850-04:002013-05-07T17:28:37.850-04:00Wow, Saleema, wow.
