Yeah, the letter would have been fine, providing he also wrote one for you followed with “her husband is leaving too” - and maybe include a name.  Without it, it’s pretty insulting.

Eeh... he’s been in government a long time and hasn’t accomplished much other than have really annoying fans.

Christ, can we stop paying attention to them?  The whole point of being American is that we stopped paying attention to the British monarchy!

... I take it a simple exchange of insurance information is no longer in fashion.

“The video taken that day does not reflect who I am as a person.” Something something “stress”... blah blah “taken out of context”... yadda yadda “was just trying to say the most hurtful thing I could...”

What do you mean “an obligation to call you pansexual?” When would this even come up? I mean, I don’t know about you, but I don’t exactly refer to my friends as “pansexual bob,” “straight karen,” and “too-into-anime-catgirls joe.”

Also it’s sorta just a thing some people like to do, and isn’t really any more intellectual than memorizing a bunch of stats on your favorite sports team and analyzing whether they’ll win the next game. It’s just all about whether you consider that to be an interesting pastime.

Yup.  Basic rule of lawyering: clients who hire you to get out of paying their bills or scamming?  They never pay their bills.

The answer to that is that every group gets to use their own slurs.  Not too complicated.

Or, better yet, be able to talk about other things.  No non-gamers want to hear about your gaming.

Oof. Tough. Maybe a “Yesterday I found out about how he treated you when you were together, and I’m furious that I was ever friends with him.  Anyway, I just wanted to write to let you know I support you completely, hope you’re doing well, and would love to hear from you some time, if you’d like.”

Did you reconnect with the wife?

Kinda seems like you shoulda just waited for the shit to hit the fan with roomie and your asshole ex.  Watching her sob over the latest shitty thing he did to her would have been sweet.

Well, I’m sure she’s happy others have taken up the mantle.

That is in no way an old fashioned.  I mean, it sounds interesting, but so does a margarita.

Sorry lady, but only white male cops get to kill with impunity.  

Does she also play Umbridge on the new Harry Potter show?

You’re confusing “be able to carry on a conversation” and “choose to associate with.” I *could* chat with Hitler about risotto if I had to - that doesn’t mean I’d choose to be his friend.

“People who think like this are selfish and childish?”  People who believe in basic human rights?  Yeah, how awful of them.

Or at least incitement.
