[DoctorDoom's letter to the people at A&E over Duck Dynasty.]

Sent to the feedback email address...

Writing as a mature, responsible, self-respecting, self-controlled, Christian gay man, I strongly encourage you to reconsider the foolhardiness of "suspending" Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty because of the screeching and wailing of the mouthy, militant minority of the gay/lesbian community. You have done yourself no favors by catering to the strident, obnoxious, highly overrated handful of queer hyperactivists.

Was it for ratings? Have you asked yourselves where you are going to get enough gays to compensate for the loss of viewers that your obsequious submission to a few tantrum-throwing faggots (yes, the term is offensive, but no more so than they are) must certainly provoke?

Do you seriously believe that the regular viewers of Duck Dynasty appreciate your obvious obeisance? You know as well as I do that the bitching queers who led to your unwise decision have never watched the show and never will do so. IMO, this folly will reflect negatively on your Nielsens.

Far too many businesses fail to grasp that the high-profile thugs such as GLAAD do not represent the majority of gays/lesbians. Their aura of significance is generated by the fawning media and companies who give them far more relevance than they merit.

Penalizing Mr. Robertson for privately expessing a politically incorrect view in order to appease a microminority will prove to have been a major error of judgment. I for one hope that the entire cast walks out and leaves you with nothing to replace the show. And if these reports are true...

• A&E tampered with the show by bleeping words that were in no way offensive in order to give the impression that there were vile words spoken by Christians;
• A&E demanded that the name of Jesus not be used because it might "offend" Muslims, as though your Muslim viewership is even a blip on the Nielsens;

... you demonstrate that you are unworthy of having the show in your lineup.
