Ok, just got an email from this Miki person who wrote that article.

hello mr. and mrs. olson.

i think you really missed the tongue-in-cheek aspect of the piece. page 3 is all about irreverance, so those comments were made in fun. i will probably never own snakes, but as a longtime vegetarian, i would never consider eating them or wearing them. in fact, i don't even like animal skin or animal print garments. so, before you label me something that i'm not, read in between the lines. and if you still feel the same way about me--a person from cincinnati that you know nothing about--then that's ok. god still digs me and that's all that really matters.

cheers,
mik


First, here is the definition of irreverance from a websters dictionary- used in most schools. And it did come from a school, a school I use to work for.

irreverant; irreverance: not reverent. not showing any respect for religion or for things that deserve respect.


Now, thinking about her reply, I dont even know what the whole point would be to write an article like that to begin with. What was the point if it is all about "irreverance"? Whats the gain? In my opinion, she made herself look bad with those comments.

Anyone else read "page 3"? I briefly read through some of the other page 3 articles and could find no other articles that were "tounge-in-cheek". I guess she is either defending herself for writting such a crappy article and she knows I am right, or she meant for HER article to be tounge-in-cheek; she is also not the only writter for page 3, whichever the case, she should have crumbled up/deleted her article and started all over again to write something that is of credit to herps. Now I have a pretty good sense of humor, a bit warped, but I found her article to be truelly aweful and vile. Anyone else see humor in any of the other articles, am I missing something?

If you do a search on the net, using her name .. Miki Turner, you come up with more articles she wrote... seems to me that her article about Mr. Moore and his snakes was way out of line.
