Religious Fundamentalists vs Headbangers
Normally, I believe in a world where people should 'live and let live'.  For instance, I love Heavy Metal (as do many of my friends outside of my workplace and my family).  I have also gone to a Catholic school, my family is Catholic and my upbringing is Christian, so I normally have nothing against Christians or Christianity.  As some of you may well know, a few of my friends are into Death Metal and host a radio show on a particular station. One of these friends got a few abusive emails criticising her show.  This friend decided to forward the two messages on to our e-group. 
This puts my patience to the test.  Take a look at the content of these emails and the excellent spelling and punctuation:

Email #1

"bye forever evil woman  ____  evil evil outcast"


Most Metal heads (myself included) consider ourselves to be fairly tolerant of most other people, but we get annoyed when others ridicule us for our taste in music or our beliefs and values.  We can't force them to like the same sort of stuff we like, so why do they do it to us?


What is even more RIDICALICALICALOUS is that this poor soul cannot even spell, which is even more surprising considering that Christians are supposed to be 'well educated' (That is, unless she is only a 5 y/o whose Dad probably put her up to it anyway).  So I have decided to copy these messages and post them on the site, so that everyone who looks can have a chortle or two about it.  This young lass should be pitied though, rather than hated; BUT if she doesn't like the music being played, she SHOULD NOT listen to it, and I am inclined to agree with her father, she should NOT waste her time in doing so NOR should she waste ours.

*BTW, I have changed the name (of the 'complainant') in order to 'protect the guilty' (whoever is guilty of writing this garbage to my friend)
