Over a year ago, I wrote this column about Wisconsin’s cat problem. Five minutes ago, this came over the e-transom:

Mr. Goldberg, I have been an avid reader of National Review Online but today will be the LAST day I access your website. Your article today, “Kill the Cats”, is in my opinion way over the top. Who are you (or the Wisconsin government, for that matter) to advocate the mass murder of cats? You say you like cats but it is sure hard to believe that based on what you report in your article. I am sure that there are other options available. Also, I wonder what you will say when one of these “hunters” inadvertently shoots someone because they missed shooting the cat they were after? A lot of feral cats live in and around the human population. I have given your magazine as gifts to friends and I have recommended your website to countless people that I know, but no more. I have removed your website from my list of “favorites”. My biggest regret is that I will no longer read Victor David Hanson every Friday. Who knows…maybe he’ll have a problem with your opinion as well and decide to move to another media outlet. I can only hope!

Me: The email, obviously, speaks for itself. I do hope Victor Davis Hanson doesn’t feel the same way about cat “murder.”

It is interesting though that this sort of thing happens pretty much every day. I don’t think a week has gone by where someone hasn’t written me in fresh outrage over something I wrote about Cynthia McKinney, for example. Anyway, back to the grindstone.
