Here, this is a good one:
I get a rambling email accusing me of all kinds of horrid things, telling me how I'm (via Barbie) profaning the writer's beliefs, desecrating the name of God, mocking, creating animosity, nurturing anti-Jew feelings amongst non-Jews, being repulsive, disgusting, disrespectful, etc - and I think well, okay, maybe you think that, but ranting at me isn't going to make me want to be like you.
So I file it under "hatemail" (I'm keeping them; it'll make a fun chapter when I write the book), and then the last sentence catches my eye. "Why not create peace and respecting everyone by allowing them to believe as they please, instead of radically spreading this hatred!!!"
Why not, indeed.
