Dear Sir:
First, I’d like to reveal to the reader that Mr. Gould and I are actually good friends; further, Mr. Gould is very sympathetic to The Spectator’s cause, if I can say so myself. However, he is also a true joker. With these sentiments in mind, let me address this rather humorous, yet valid letter [...]

Dear Mr. Radford:
While I appreciate your kind words on our mission, I must take issue with a number of you characterizations and criticisms of my article.First,I believe that you will be sadly mistaken about “the inevitable verdict of history”of the Bush foreign policy. Certainly future generations of Iraqi and Afghan women will enjoy lives of [...]

The Foundation for Intellectual Diversity Responds—
Dear Mr. Chaiken:
However laudable Brown University’s ostensible commitment to the ideal of a liberal education through free and open inquiry may be,its actual adherence to this mission remains a fan-tasy, a far-off Nirvana which is undercut every step of the way by overbearing ideologies and the faddish prerogatives of various [...]

Madam:
I really do not know where to start. I guess I should begin by saying, kids, never under-estimate the power of propaganda. Effective Venezuelan propaganda is stronger than Colombian cocaine, as we can see from Ms. McFadden’s atrociously mislead opinions.
The first point I would like to address is about Venezuela’s “honest” national elections. While the [...]

I greatly appreciate your comments, Mr. Barbata; however, I am disappointed that you ultimately refused to take a stance. While your commentary was very insightful, and your personal anecdote about becoming a Navy SEAL added much credibility to your opinions, I still fail to see “the salient point.” It seems to me that you’re using [...]

Dear Mr. Rosenbaum:
I’d like to thank you for offering feedback to my article and to apologize for those aspects of it that seemed “offensive “; I assure you I never intended to offend anyone, but merely to provide a robust apology of the Christian worldview in an academic context.
I’ll move now to respond to a [...]

FemSex and MSex, please accept my deepest, most sincere apology.You’re right. I was ill-informed, and I didn’t mean to spread my ill-information like a plague. How could I have been so ignorant as to not assume that those things done in FemSex (discussions of dildos, vibrators, strap-ons, and other various as-sistors of deviancy) are also [...]

Mr. Stern, for all of his admirable bravado, apparently fails to read my original article. Mr. Stern is free, as he does, to contest the arguments in Swindle. This, however, entirely misses my point. My thesis, as I made clear many times throughout my article, is that arguments that global warming is caused by CO2 [...]
