In case no one had pointed this out already, the “M” logo you were talking about on the “cum pigs” tee-shirt is for Magnet, the gay men’s health clinic in the Castro. So: “Magnet loves cum pigs.”

Anyway, this might be an odd bit of fan mail, but you have pics of me going back over 10 years from everywhere from folsom to protest marches. While I’m quite sure we don’t see eye to eye politically, I have always appreciated the quality of and composition of your shots and writing. Indybay can suck a dick in terms of good shots. And you shamed the RCP for being anti-semetic drones, which warmed the cockles of my heart.

.I’m not sure if you recall the website Encyclopedia Dramatica, it was a very anti PC and anti SJW parody wiki with tongue firmly planted in cheek in the spirit of the Devils Dictionary with a bit more spite and bile. Many of us who ran it in day to day operations cracked up at your writing and passed around posts playing a game of “spot a sysop in a compromising position” since many of us lived in the greater sf bay area. I was trying to get a formal invite extended to you to write some humor/satire columns but a key person died and the owner of the site lost her stomach for the game and quit, so it fell through. c’est la vie.

Anyway, if you can’t take a minute to pause and laugh at your self you need to re-evaluate your life priorities. I just wanted to send you a begrudging and belated job well done. :)
