This boils my blood.
A while back the Daily Universe (BYU's student newspaper) started getting regular letters arguing for and against legalizing gay marriage. Â Everything was more or less civil and adult, (there were of course a few "you'll all burn in hell because you don't hate gays" type letters, but we mostly ignored them.)
Two of my former roommates wrote letters to the editor, intelligently discussing the topic. Â One of the rules of the letters in the Universe is that you must sign your full name. Â
Thanks to the wonderful BYU directory which lets you get info on ANY student, today, some BYU student sent out mass, unsolicited email, (which is spam, by law) to all the people who wrote any letter to the editor that was even partially in favor of gay marriage, my two roomates included. Â This person was rude and self-righteous, insisting that gay marriage is a direct threat to society, and that the people who wrote letters were all bad bad people. Â And they didn't even have the courage to sign their name.
I would like to beg everyone here to send an email to this person, worded as kindly you'd like, telling them what a rude coward they are, and how they should be ashamed of themselves. Â Â Use a junk email address if you don't want to worry about it, they're not hard to get.
[email protected]Sure, it's childish and vindictive of me to ask this. So be it. Feel free to ignore this post with the knowledge that posting it has made me feel better.
