We received a "letter" in the mail today. Someone spent 39 cents (and the cost of an envelope and a white piece of paper) to say:

THE LIBRARY IS THE UGLIEST BUILDING IN [town]. IT COST TOO MUCH TO BUILD AND IS A WASTE OF TAX PAYERS [sic] MONEY.
A TAX PAYER

No signature, no return address.

Frankly, it gave me the willies (why are they the willies, anyway? But I digress…). I just felt all grody after reading it, and the feeling has persisted all day. I'm sympathetic to the opinion on the aesthetics of the building, but it's been 6 years already. Get over it, dickbrain.

We are in the middle of a library survey right now, mailed out (with grant $$, taxpayers; don’t get your panties in a wad) to every address in town. It's possible this dork felt we asked for any and all opinions. But the survey asks for input and suggestions, as well as the name of the person filling out the survey.

Anonymous letters are just … soo… how can I put this? ... clearly a sign of mental illness and/or dementia and (but not ‘or’) hatefulness. Did I mention that they're juvenile, too?

It messes with your karma. Don’t do it. Sign your flippin' name, or write in your address at least, when you're being hateful.

Oh, and it occurs to me: if you use the library's computers to type anonymous letters, you will go to whatever version of hell you believe in, presumably where taxes are high and the architecture sucks, in this case.
