This time, mixed in with the usual panic & recriminatios & threats of legal prosecution, there are a couple of letters that show that some folks are not entirely beyond hope.
Enjoy!

I love that site. I don't understand how anyone couldn't figure out that it was a spoof after reading more than 1 or 2 articles.
Good stuff. :) |

Yeah, H.H. How can anyone look at that site and not realize it's a parody?
But yeah, I like Landover. Goof for a laugh all the time. |

Browsing the articles, I found this exchange and cried laughing.
"What kind of church is this, anyway?"
"We're Mormons," replied Shemidiah.
"Mormons!" she exclaimed. "I thought all of you were killed in Waco."

The letter filthy quoted said:quote:
...you arent catholic...
Obviously written by a person who can't even be bothered to read the second word of the title of the Web site she's bitching about. That's both clueless and ridiculous. Cream of the pathetic crop, is my vote. |

| Maybe they have a hard time figuring out it's satire because it so closely mimics the real thing? |

'Zackly right. That was the first thing I thought when I found Landover and it's mailbag, lo these many years ago.
It was even better then. You could satiritically (is that a word?) surf the web with that prolific producer of pickled watermelon rinds, Mrs. Judy O'Christian, and use the guest book as a sort of back-handed forum in spite of a stern admonition that it was not a "message board for demons!" We demons chatted merrily away, anyway, as demons are wont to do.
There have been some serious attempts to shut Landover down, but little has come of them. One anti-Landover site is, or was -- I haven't been keeping track, run by the guy who started Landover Baptist.
You'd think that they'd see the spoof. Hell, it's right there in the add for the Jesus anal floss (hehe, I like that one). It shows just how serious tunnel vision can be.
There are few things more amusing than a highly pissed fundementalist (enter delusion of choice). It's especally funny when said fundie is highly pissed over nothing. They fire back, often all in caps and with gross mispelling, not to mention highly creative grammar, like a cannon over-charged with out-of-date powder -- you never know where the shot will end up.
I have played with the thought of sending them a rant myself, a goof on the spoof, so to speak. But if I can think of it, that begs the question how many of the truly outrageous messages actually are goofs.

Apparantly i'm less cynical than you are, as my guess would be that most of these are spoofs. Then again, maybe it's just that i'm younger than you  |
Miss Tick sniffed. 'You could say this piece of advice is pricesless', she said. 'Are you listening?'
'Yes' said Tiffany.
'Good now...If you trust in yourself.."
'Yes..?'
'..and believe in your dreams...'
'yes?'
'...and follow your star..' Miss Tick went on.
'Yes?'
'You'll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren't so lazy. Goodbye.' |

Don't know. The best I could is guess, which isn't worth much.
I get a ring of sincerity from many of the messages, bullshit from others.
Which is at least partially why, thus far, I have yet to send them a rant (I can come up with some good ones). But perhaps I will, if I get into just the right frame of mind. If nothing else, they are entertaining and it is good to make people chuckle.
I'd say that you, while perhaps not as cynical as I, are pretty, damned skeptical.
