Letters, we get letters...

We at the Northwest Progressive Institute get our fair share of strange and cryptic messages sent to us through our website. From time to time, something really bizarre shows up, and today was one of those days.

Before I get to the message, I want to note that we ask folks who submit feedback if they mind us posting or sharing their comments. If they do, we try to respect that preference. The individual who sent us this said he doesn't mind. So here goes:

The Western Coalition for Sustainable Living already takes care of all the issues that you are trying to solve. The WCSL already has all the solutions that you are struggling to find.

Please shut this website down, and close down your organization.

Douglas Stambler

Douglas was kind enough to leave his email address, so I replied:

That explains why I have never heard of it. Does this WCSL even have its own website? I couldn't find one on Google.

A word of advice: Dismissing others' activism while promoting your own is not a good way to make friends.

I wasn't expecting a response, but oddly enough, one came:

the wcsl used to have a website. we're big enough now that we don't need one anymore.

the west side of washington and oregon are far too urbanized to contribute any satisfactory solutions for the mostly rural northwest.

God bless.

It's so good to know there's at least one guy out there who thinks his mighty organization transcends the Internets.

I wonder if Douglas knows that most of Western Washington and Western Oregon are also rural...well, I guess it doesn't matter. Who needs television when there are people like Douglas Stambler around to entertain?
