Here at Decent Community, we’re the first to accept that there’s a time and place for everything. And while some extreme circumstances may call for bloody massacres, we’re more of the belief writing your nemesis a letter whips them right into shape. The pen is mightier than the sword indeed!
Writing letters is great for getting back at people for so many reasons. For instance, sometimes you may not be in the mood to whoop someone’s ass. Sometimes you’d rather intimidate through wordsmanship (as the letter above does). Sometimes it’s better to outwit and display superior intellect (the letter above does both). Also, writing letters is a fading skill, so any opportunity to refresh your competence should be taken advantage of.
Personally, I enjoy writing letters to people who fuck with Bill Belichick. I like writing to people who dick me over, steal my food, or don’t carry a product I’m looking for. You’ll be surprised about the decent response you get when you take the initiative and let loose the decent written roar that lies on the other side of silence — and violence for that matter.

Very timely piece. With Sylvio back in town I have a feeling I may bump into my nemesis (Sylvio’s mom) soon and I want to be prepared.
