Learning to Love the Web (Including Jpod?)

A year ago I freaked out when neocon John Podhoretz, angered by something I wrote about the neocons, sent me an email saying, "We know where you live." I got very upset about it and raised a stink in my blog. In retrospect, I think I was wrong. Though it is famously hard to read emotion in emails (thus emoticons and other literal signals of intention, like LOL), I think Jpod as he is known was actually the more sophisticated player, and there was even something respectful in his attention: the internet is actually truly about a conversation, and I was dropping the ball. All this to say that I got an email from Jpod today headlined, "So much anger" and the body of the email said "...just because you married a shiksa?" Which I admit is pretty funny. I responded, "No because you incinerated the Arab world and called it 'being Jewish.'" Jpod then responded, "Ding. Time to take your Xanax." Oh well, Homer nods.
