Interestingly enough, just this morning, my time, I received a follow-up email from Mr. Pilott regarding my email. It was very incoherent and hard to understand exactly what he was trying to say.
Since it contains nothing of real substance I will share it:
Dear XXX,
I note you were one of a handful of people in the US to send complaining emails to the Taranaki
Daily News about Rachel Stewart's latest column. I also note some have written what you would
probably term ``cheap-shot'' postings on sites in the US.
My initial plan was to ignore all the emails sent to me because so many were no more than vitriolic
nonsense from conspiracy theorists and people with an inflated view of their own importance.
However, some email were quite genuine and given the possibility some of the postings may eventually gain some unwarranted credibility, I have changed my mind.
Ms Stewart spends quite a bit of time in the US, and frequently sees firearms in Texan diners.
Some are worn by police, others are worn by members of the public who have attempted, without
success to keep them hidden from view at all times. She does not need a lesson on the respective
laws pertaining to firearms.
Regards
Roy
I replied to Mr. Pilott that I regarded his email as a sterling example of the level to which journalism and writing has descended.
P.S. - I do not live in the U.S.A. A fact which is clearly noted in the signature section of my emails.
