And shudder you should.

I publish a newspaper in Middleburg, Virginia, pehaps aptly named,  
The Middleburg Eccentric.

We received racist threats and Klan-style (and language) demands for  
our editor to leave town.  Her sin:  balanced reporting on efforts to  
build an Inn on land adjacent to Middleburg by one of the founders of  
BET.

I hope someone's archiving these exchanges.

Some graduate student in 2107 will no doubt find them revealing of  
the mindset of the early 21st stewards of the Knowledge Trust . . .  
evidence of ongoing struggles to rationalize the unreasonable . . .  
and a sad commentary on the persistence of racism in our beloved Old  
Dominion.

Best,

Dan
