I’m appalled that you would find Bill Mann’s column, “Thanks, Spreadnecks” fit to print.

We need to tread very carefully here. The marginalization and demonizing of a group of people is at the heart of all of our historical moral failings.

This kind of talk is what incites violence.

I’ll hold you and Mr. Mann personally responsible for any local violence that could very possibly happen as a result of your journalistic and editorial bad judgement.

You have an opportunity to create a space for meaningful dialogue at a time when it is desperately needed. Instead you choose name-calling and turn a blind eye to human beings who are exercising their right to informed consent and privacy. It’s a damn shame.
