No offense or judgement meant to anyone if that’s your thing (to each their own). That’s just how I see pretty much all professional sports - the super bowl is just the poster child for it.

    Dear sir or madam:

    Some crackpot has written me an abusive message, and it seems they used your account to send it. I’m replying to you as a courtesy in case you wish to take action against this lunatic.

    Cheers.

      I can’t help but notice I have witnessed the most refined troll destruction of all time!

      Congratulations, sir, for I’m honestly impressed with your skills.

      For the sake of clarity, I am not sarcastic, and I am not the person you respond to.

      Happy to have met you,

      Allero

        Ha, thanks. I so wish I could take credit for it, but it’s adapted from something Gyles Brandreth once said. It was, supposedly, his standard response to abusive letters he would receive while he was an MP.
