I wonder how many abusive letters she is going to get now :)

But seriously lay off the crack pipe and lighten up a little, there are
a-holes in cyberspace but a)you can't sue them all b)If it offends you
don't read them c) Do you also try and sue everyone on the street that
looks at you funny or you think they are undressing you with their eyes?

*some people definitely need a vacation or really lighten up*
