This guy even mentions that the flamer has a reputation at risk, but
apparently doesn't think of the normal social response: publicizing
the gist of this little exchange of e-mail.

Apparently the writer didn't stick around to read the rest of this
thread, in which the poster was roundly excoriated as a putz, even
by people with little fondness for David Sternlight.

Yeesh.  I think I'll write a letter to the _New Yorker_, though they
won't publish it.
