Drivel

I wat disgusted and appalled to hear that you (you horrible little toady) had decided in your infinite wisdom, that the occasional silly letter that happens to appear in your damned rag (and even that's a compliment) is drivel, (not unlike certain editorials and Salient notes) and that in your esteemed position as head tit in Salient you have decided to stop the printing of these letters. Well sir, you may not like these letters and their content but there are students on this campus that feel that they are the high point of your magazine (which doesn't say a hell of a lot for it.) Granted that there are equally students who like Salient in its present form (God help them,) but they are already catered for by the rest of your magazine.

This magazine is supposedly a paper for all students, not just the students you feel like catering for, so cater for them idiot. And guess how you can? Yes Simon, by pandering to the wishes of those who waste their time reading it, them, whatever, by sir, printing those letters. Salient is not your personal little empire, written and printed for your own desires, it's written and printed by students for students. Do you get the gist of my meaning sir,. . . print those letters you smutty little son's of another person's donkey biting wiper of other people's rear-ends. (I would like to thank Michael Pallin and his associates for the inspiration behind that last tirade against you.)

Well I've got a Maths lecture now, so I'M going to finish now. I hope that you don't class this letter as drivel as it is written with extremely serious intentions, to awaken you to the fact that you and your little bunch of workers are not alone in this world, and that some other students do sometimes come here and do have actually some ideas, thoughts desires and wishes.
