What's up with me?

 


Interesting. I just received an email criticizing some of the things I wrote in GR58. The sender took issue with certain phrases, suggesting that they have racist or divisive overtones. Then, after responding to his points, I noticed that the person posted the text on the GR discussion boards as well! After the initial surprise, I actually think it's poetic since I aired my letter of complaint to Protection One just a few days ago.

No need to share the details of my response since that's between the reader and me, but I don't consider any of the comments in question to be overly derogatory or hurtful. Perhaps unmeasured, but not racist. Yet who am I to judge... myself? In the end, I'm just happy that the person reads the mag, pays attention to what we write, and cares enough to write.
