This is a letter about governing; it's inherently political. People do tend to take offense when their decisions are being questioned, and Rich is being polite. Nothing wrong with that.

Yes, your problem if your offended, not the writer other ones, the mail is fair polite and not aggressive, if your offended about fair personal criticism f*ck off and find another job.

Being offended by other/different opinions is what hitler, mao and stalin had in common.

It sounds like you're offended by the author's other/different opinion on the matter.

> your problem if your offended, not the writer...

I see a significant amount of irony in someone getting very upset ("I hate", "fucking pc", "fuck off") over what someone says because they think that people should get less upset over what other people say.

Wow. I wish I could favorite this comment.

Are you aware that the emotions you're feeling are neatly categorized as "offended by different opinions"? Do you see yourself as equivalent to mao/stalin/hitler? Asking out of morbid curiosity.

No premature apology comparing me to mao/stalin/hitler? Asking out of morbid curiosity.

It’s also what people offended by Hitler, Stalin, and Mao’s opinions about, e.g., correct behavior of the state have in common.
