Mark Morford does it yet again. This time, let's make the San Francisco Chronicle pay, literally
Dale Seago once again alerts us to another wildly hysterical San Francisco Chronicle opinion piece by Mark Morford, this time entitled "Me And My Big Dumb Gun", bemoaning the introduction of the new Smith & Wesson .50 caliber handgun.
I urge you to read the article and see just how vile a writer can be. Search this site for references to "Morford", and also read Dr. Edgar Suter's early commentary on the same, as well as Dr. Jim Finn's response.
These were done in response to Morford's earlier rant, but - surprise, surprise - seem to have done little or nothing to convince Mr. Morford (unlikely, anyway) or his employer to curb his nasty behavior.
I suggest this: do continue to editorialize against the idiot writer, but direct your responses to the advertisers of the San Francisco Chronicle, copying the Chronicle editors. This is a tactic suggested a while back by L. Neil Smith, who is in my experienced opinion correct in stating that the threat of losing advertising dollars is the only thing editors truly fear.
I will very gladly reproduce well-written letters here. Copy me at whitakerATsurvivalartsDOTcom (replace the appropriate tokens with "@" and ".", proving to me you're not a spambot).

Hey Morford,
As a physician I would like to recommend that you get checked for rabies.
It's your foaming at the mouth that concerns me.
Edgar A. Suter MD
Here is the Chronicle address book.

Posted by: Russell Whitaker on March 1, 2003 01:09 AMIf you had any brains you'd simply say to Morford that although you don't agree with what he says in his column, you'd defend his right to say it with your .50 cal S&W. Instead you want to censor free expression. America the beautiful land of the free, don't change the words to land of hypocrisy!
