Texas Torment:
I thoroughly enjoyed your piece on would -be “Emperor” Greytok. When his letter first hit my desk I honestly thought for a moment that is was a parody of some sort or another. As I read it further, the cold reality set in. It sent chills down my spine to think that a so called pro-business state such as Texas could possibly take a stance such as that. Keep up the good work.

This Greytok must be living under a rock or something, calling PCH, and Readers Digest, Time…all reckless operators. Thank you for speaking out, and I’m with you. Let’s never have a DMA Annual in Texas (I always thought it was too hot there anyway) and let’s just suppress our Texas names on everything. Why take a chance with a litigation?

In your article “DIRECT HIT: THE BIGGEST JACKASS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS”, it was completely inappropriate and insensitive for you to have used the phrase “launched a jihad against the mailing list business”. Can ANY comparison be made to the unstable political climate in the world where thousands of lives are at risk? I think not.

I’ve always admired you and the editorials you write. Your recent editorial “DIRECT HIT: THE BIGGEST JACKASS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS” in Direct Newsline was a master stroke. I particularly agree that the DMA should cancel all shows in Texas. Why not move the show to New York which has always been helpful to the direct marketing industry and could surely use the revenue?
It’s a real shame that at a time when the government should be promoting unity, these jerks in Texas are creating uncertainty for everyone.
