Dear Harlan: I have written to you before about my concerns with your writing about people sleeping together with no avail. There are times when I think you give good advice, but will no longer read your column. It’s not a fit. – MGK
Dear MGK: Since you’re done reading my column, I’ll write to your friend (she can pass this along). I’m not a fit? You would rather read something that reflects your same values, beliefs and ideas? What a big bore. It’s like listening to yourself ramble on, right? I’m like a cold splash of reality. Refreshing. I’m also kind-hearted, loving, warm, supportive and encouraging. I tell the truth. And I’m smart enough to know that condemning and shaming behavior doesn’t stop it. If talking about sex works you up to the point where you’re going to turn me off, you need to talk to someone. Shutting people down because they don’t share your belief system isn’t nice. It’s cold and dangerous. You might be shutting out loved ones, friends and family who need your support, guidance and unconditional love. Thanks for taking the time to write. I do appreciate your thoughts – even if you don’t appreciate mine.
