Like most columnists, I get a lot of e-mail. I've been cursed at, called every name you can imagine, encouraged to leave the country, accused of being an enemy agent, criticized for my writing skills ("You're a terrible columnist!"), criticized for my athletic skills ("You were a worse football player!"), and occasionally, threatened. Although I'm no longer much affected by the vitriol that fills my in box, I am still surprised at how few of my critics actually understand the point of my columns.
