I didn't include it because yeah---it's just typical hate mail. Not sexist hate mail. Plus, I thought you were a guy named Kelly---there are so many of them in Boston! So it's not like I was giving you points for being a woman. Anyway, it's good to see you crop up on my blog even though you hate my writing.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. For the record, I’m a female sports fan, and I have sent you hate mail over your Metro column because it’s TERRIBLE. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

The nutjobs there always find a way to be slightly more prehistoric than the crazies in Georgia.

Even the guy who asked, in detail, if I was hot---I thought he was kidding. He had to be, right? It's so preposterous! So I wrote back, "Haha, yeah, I'm a 'ten'" and he responded with a 1,000 word treatise explaining, in minute detail, the fine distinctions between 10s, 9s, 8s, and 7s, and how it was physically impossible for me to actually be a "ten." I deduce from this that he lives in his parents' basement and has a lint collection. And Nick, that was a nicely done post. I hadn't even *heard* that story about the female ref. Shows how much traction it got, eh? Tom, no, I think they were all too serious. Even the guy who asked, in detail, if I was hot—I thought he was kidding. He had to be, right? It’s so preposterous!

I recently posted a similar article on my blog. It's from a man's perspective (and therefore less weighty and legitimate, I understand that) and it's about female athletes more than sportswriters but I would hope it hits the same chord. I wouldn't be presume to announce that "I get it" or "Look, somebody's looking out for you," but I figured if there's a dialogue opened up about this, I'll throw my two cents in to the well...I think I just invented a phrase there.

I feel like I don't really need a fan club (I'm blushing!). But I do love those Anne Taintor magnets. "Ta da! Now let's have a cocktail..." is what I say to myself every day when I get home from work. Thanks for all the love. I feel like I don’t really need a fan club (I’m blushing!).

These emails illustrate the ignorance of the goofs sending them. Thanks for the laughs and all of the great work you put out. The pictures and captions with this post are priceless as well.
