I think we’ve had enough already, but I liked this email:

Jonah,
Today’s posts about Sorkin reminds me of a pick up line I used quite
a bit when introducing ladies to my not so smooth friends.
“Have you ever dated a man of mediocrity?”
It almost always worked. It made women feel as though they were in
control by painting the man they had just been introduced to as
beneath them. Not to mention that they were part of the joke and not
the punch-line. I think it goes along with what you were saying in
regards to people being happy about “getting it”. Even if it was
below middle-brow.
BTW– Crappy writing (Sorkin’s) can be defined as, writing where
almost every piece of dialog is written to illicit some grand
emotional response. Does every scene need to be so weighted?
