since my email to Wells, ( hello Wells!, by the way, you prankster jokester
type...)
I've been told -

Oh relax everyone, remember Wells is the self appointed IDM Jokesterr!
Kind of like the gas you get after having a rilly nice beans and rice
meal! He's rilly funnEE <-that's fun with an extra "n" and two big "E"'s!

and, more strongly -

are some of your best friends black by any chance?
why do you feel the need to justify yourself

surely he was just explicitly stating what was potentially implicit in the
first post - he wasn't making fun of southerners he was saying that people
who believe those kind of things are dumb

ALL CAPS MODE HERE:
READ MY EMAIL WHERE I SAID:

" EITHER WAY, not a flame bait here.  You're funny."
and
"your email was *hilarious*"
and
" Just saying, Wells, your'e going to piss off a lot of Southerners here."

that was all...

I know Wells is joking around.  I'd have to be a really uptight, politically
correct *loser* if his post *really* upset me.

Do people read the first two lines of an email only?
Please folks, read. Open your eyes.
