I prefer that Word.A.Day stays away from political agendas. I do not appreciate the anti-meat daily postings from Matt Ball. And after a week of it, you are proved to have known better! I thought wrong....

from the AWADmail #299:
In 14 years of Wordsmith.org, last week was singular in the volume of angry email from readers. They were upset that we had given a platform to a veg advocate. Some sent thoughtful notes, while others made snide remarks; still others canceled their subscriptions.
and yet, not a single example of even the thoughtful notes.

If this is what is meant by thoughtful notes (not sure) here is the one I sent:
Cartesian; Though not everyone may have been happy with this weeks' deviation from strictly language matters, I appreciate that you have taken " the cow by the horns" and put the ill use of animals to our attention.
Proving there was at least one.

implicit in my post was angry.. upset.. thoughtful; all the samples were supportive. this is weak editorial policy.

I think it was deliberate - "let's only publish the angry rants, to show the world what angry nuts those vicious carnivores are". As is his right, Anu selectively published responses to promote his own views.
