Thank you for printing the letters “Art: Still Not Porn,” “Blue Balls,” and “Wanna Step Outside, Buddy?” They each inspired me in different ways. The first made me want to write a letter about the First Amendment to one of our major dailies and sign it, and I did.
The second, “Blue Balls,” was so full of hateful and ignorant rhetoric it made me want to find and read the piece by Ken Wheatcroft-Purdue (“Them Inaugural Blues,” Jan 22). I did. Sorry I had missed it.
I won’t speak for Ken, whom I have known and respected for years, but I was offended by the writer of “Wanna Step Outside, Buddy?” before I realized he is a pathetic, low-information, bile-filled MAGA nut not worth a visit.
Ken, please keep writing, despite the haters. I always enjoy your pieces, and this time you taught me a new phrase I promise to repeat often: First Felon!
