because sometimes tact is appropriate. most of the time, tact is appropriate.

many of you may know, the voice of the philadelphia phillies is gone. harry kalas was a wonderful person with a great voice. and many of you may know, the philadelphia flyers are currently playing the pittsburgh penguins for the stanley cup playoffs. the pens and the flyers HATE each other. much much hate. because the pens are douchebags.

there is a blog that is the "pensblog." and granted, it isn't officially connected to the penguins by any means, but still. one of the lovely lovely human beings (read: jack ass) who pens the pensblog wrote after the flyers beat the penguins 6-3 last night that the organist should "take a note from Harry Kalas and just die."

i've never been more angry at someone in my life. i'm so angry that i could cry. so i sent this lovely individual letting him know just how awful of a person he is, and this is the email i got back:

"woooooooooooooooooooooooooo...


Your email was longer than Kalas's wake... bitch.

too soon? yes. it's too soon to mock harry kalas's death. it's far too soon. if you want to take it out on the team and mock the team, fine. if you want to say horrible things about philadelphia fans, fine. do not mock harry's death. that's not okay. that's not even remotely okay. so, charlie, did you think that was a good idea? because it fucking wasn't. it was most certainly not a good idea.

Edit: I'm now being harassed by both charlie and adam at "pensblog." what wonderful gentlemen they are.
