(no subject)

I was getting a lot of annoying hatemail, a while back, and one thing about hatemail is that it really gets old pretty fast, and I was getting a bit tired of it. So I added a paragraph to the contact bit of HaSoferet.com, thus:

I don't expect everyone to agree with me, but I do expect to be treated with respect. If you hate what I do and want to let me know, fine, but please remember your manners. For example, if you wouldn't cc your email to your rabbi, you shouldn't be sending it to me. But if you really have nothing better to do, this is the rule: if you send me email which is obviously rude or abusive you are granting me full permission to publish it in any medium I see fit.

And it worked; I haven't had any really annoying hatemail since.

This pleases me.
