To be clear, I am not saying the letter is not objectionable - I said from the beginning I didn't like it (actually, I said it did not endear him to me). I am saying that some posters are sharing similar views expressed by the LW, for example, pointing out that they should not have to lower standards or settle. I find this interesting. In villianizing the LW (and again, I didn't like the letter, I just don't think he's pure evil as some posters do) some posters are lamenting about society in general and then essentially expressing the same things he did.
