Maybe this guy’s just peeved at you for all the Catholic-bashing you’ve been up to in Great Debates. ---

You could always try replying to the email thusly: "Dear WHSBaker Who the fucking Who the fucking Who the fucking hell are you? Who the fu-cking hell arrrrre youuuuu?" OK it works better as a football chant (to the tune of _guide me o thou great redeemer_) ---

That’s not a good prize. I got one and could barely fit my cell phone in it before the damn thing ripped open and spilled stuff down my back. ---

> [@wm--](#): > > Maybe this guy’s just peeved at you for all the Catholic-bashing you’ve been up to in Great Debates. I am not a Catholic Basher, by the way. If you tell the Catholic Church it is bashing gays, they will tell you that no, they do not bash gays. It is homosexual practices they attack, not the people! It is pure bullshit, but I figure if their Jesuitical distinction can work for them, it can work for me. I do not bash Catholics, it is Catholicism that I criticize! 😃 ---

There are a few hits in [Google](http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=WSHBaker&qt_s=Search&sa=N&tab=gw) for this alias, even a couple capitalized in exactly the same way, which seems more than coincidence to me. Not sure what good that does you, but just sayin’. ---
