Check out this hilarious, rambling, email sent to me. (Believe it or not, while I do tend to get some hate, stuff this amusing this is pretty rare.) Pay attention to the way the specimen unravels as he goes, like he can’t even keep his thoughts together. Also note the great irony of this guy’s dialectic on the ill effects of technology and the internet on upstanding people. Kind of sad to think that people live their lives this way.

Dear Ryan,

Thanks for responding. Quite frankly, with the sort of reputation Engadget has, I didn’t think you cared how others feel about your site.

I don’t want what I post on my site called into question by a bunch of high school dropouts because NO ONE has given you the right to question my articles. Only on the net, can someone with my background come directly face to face with an uneducated lowlife like you. It’s the unfortunate result of technology trickling down to every nook and cranny in our society, even inside a snake hole where you crawl. So keep on posting your condescending $5 articles because you’ve got a chip on your shoulder or life hasn’t treated you well, but that doesn’t change the fact that your mom was a drug addict and you had to quite [sic] high school to buy her crack. I feel nothing but pity for you.

And yes, I WILL talk to an attorney about libel to see if I can teach dipshits like you a lesson. Then again, I think life has already taught you a harsh lesson, no?

Best of luck on your sad pathetic existence,
[Redacted]
