TOUCHING NERVES

Lara Pickford-Gordon of the Newsday has a very interesting article in Monday's edition titled 'Harassment via Internet'
(http://newsday.co.tt/commentary/0,79220.html). She documents getting "a poison letter. The letter was typed and so was the address in an attempt to mask the author’s identity."

Well Lara we empathise with you because we have also been on the receiving end of hate "male" (and female), via fake names and email addresses such as 'christian!', 'sandyking1', 'curt williams', and many more, and the latest installment from 'ronald bhola' who writes "this blog is the product of a racist team (names called)..it attacks and villifies proper journalists and lacks credibility and integrity".
Well 'ronald', maybe you would also like to address that comment to all the people who continue to read this blog and send us comments about what they see and hear in the media.
So if you can't take constructive criticism from various quarters, then by all means, stop reading.

Lara Pickford-Gordon also writes "The letter came not long after I wrote a commentary on gossip and how dangerous it can be. The topic seemed to have touched a nerve for the individual to take pains to admonish me about wasting time on such topics...".
Well Lara, we also wonder whose nerve we touched recently?
