What happens at an electrocution
I thought your answer was quite informative, but am dismayed by your attitude towards the person who asked the question. Yes, he could be a nut case, BUT it is possible for someone to have a curiosity and not be an nut case or an asshole as you put it. I do however agree that anyone who would want to see one probably needs phycological help. I am not and am not considered by people who know me as either of those descriptions, quite the contrary.
With today’s crime rate and crime shows on T.V. it would only be natural for some to wonder. As I said, I thought your answer was informative, but the name-calling was unnecessary (and yes, I know this is your site and you can say what you want).
You are more than welcome to visit my website, it was included in my registration information, to see for yourself that not all who inquire about such things are “nut cases”.
Well, now that you’ve brought your objections to his attention, I’m sure Cecil will draft and forward the appropriate apology sometime in the next 23 years.
What Bryan was trying to say, I think, is that the electrocution column dates back to 1981.
The Mouse, since your website is all about electrocutions, I suspect that you got here by searching on your favorite topic. If you read a few more of Cecil’s columns, you will find that his sparkling wit and sharp tongue are features that make him different from any of the other information type of sources. So, it’s not likely that he will either revise his past comments or mellow much. All in all, the person who wrote about electrocutions got off pretty easily. Just being called “another nutcase” is pretty mild for Cecil, who has addressed his readers with terms like “shmuck” or (taken from our FAQ page:
Please allow me to respond. Actually, my husband and I were curious after watching a movie that had an electrocution in it. That is how I happened upon this site. I was not looking for an apology, but to personally protest being called a nut case and an asshole.
:eek: Obviously I did not make myself clear about MY website. I have a read and submit poetry site, with many awards for my helping other women with domestic violence.
The address for my site is in my profile if anyone would like to look for themselves…
Dex, what are you talking about? Where on her site is “all about electrocutions?” I see poetry, some supernatural stuff and information about abuse. I don’t see anything about electrocution. People can get banned for misrepresenting other posters, you know.
The Mouse, welcome to the boards. Congratulations on picking up the posting rules so quickly. Many first timers forget to include a link to the article.
BTW, Dex, your FAQ link leads to Micro$oft, for some obscure reason.
Thank you Peter. 
The Mouse
I’ve fixed the link, thanks, Peter.
This ain’t been my day. Instead of exercise, I been jumping to conclusions. I apologize to The Mouse, I didn’t actually go to your website, I thought I was reading your description of it. Having remedied that, it’s very cool poetry and much good causes. I hope you’ll find things on our website of interest, explore around, read more of Cecil’s columns, kick off your shoes and make yourself t’home.
Cecil styles himself “world’s smartest human being” and he thinks he is. Thus, when he’s dealing with letters from readers, he’s dealing with people who are far less intelligent than himself (at least, so his reasoning goes – otherwise, of course, they wouldn’t need to ask questions to which he knows the answer.) He does not suffer fools easily, and he tends to mock those who write in. It’s one of his charms. He’s actually mellowed a little over the years, but the occasional zinger still slips in… and this column was written in his younger day, when he had no curb on his tongue at all.
