Nothing causes a letter reader to discount almost everything within the letter than over-the-top, fanatical verbiage and extremist allegations that expose the writer for the zealot she is.

Had this letter been written without the insults and blustering, the otherwise valid points the writer wanted to make MIGHT have been taken seriously. All you managed to do, Jacquie H, is to make yourself look like an irrational militant who need not be taken seriously.

Well written, thoughtful, factual, calm and polite letters get results. Hysterical, angry ones like this only get thrown in the garbage.
