Dear MAD,

It's homophobic and patriarchal attitudes like yours that keep queers in the closet and women in the kitchen. Grow the fuck up, realize that it's the 21st century and the sexually liberated aren't going to follow your bullshit narrow-minded views, and please pull that giant sense of superiority (just cause you have a dick) out of your ass and replace it with a actual dick. We all know you're going to love it.

Dan why did you publish a letter criticizing you for your advice to STH from some blowhard a-hole instead of one of the many rational, thoughtful criticisms you no doubt received? I still say that lady's behavior was f-ed up, and she needed to put a stop to it. Which is not the advice you gave.

I'm guessing, Around, that (Since he said so) that he had gotten many similar letters on that subject and wanted to clear the air. And I agree with freedomfighter-- Get over yourself, Mr. Letter Writer Who Probably Feels Guilty About Some Similar Trangression.

@Around: Because most of the criticisms of that advice were from people that didn't appear to have actually read his response, so they were all dumb. He just found one of the dumber ones. But just in case you didn't read it the first time, here is a link:

Here are a few important lines: 'The aggressive flirting could be a problem'...'But if she agrees that her flirting is indeed a problem—if for no other reason than it bothers her husband—and she's willing to tamp it down for your sake, you should "forgive her and move on,"'

Don't get me wrong, I'd be upset if that was my wife too. But Dan's main point is that refusing to forgive is a far bigger problem than the flirting, and a lot of people that wrote in seemed to have missed that.
