Let's start with my recent post about (once he erects a pay wall around his conservative media empire). That generated a lot of comments and a handful of e-mails, some of them scorching. My favorite one comes from a reader named B. W., who found it on InfoWorld's sister site, PCWorld.com, where my content is occasionally syndicated.

I've censored the nasty bits in case the kids are in the room but left the rest intact:

I think that the juvenile, self serving and left wing rant by your amateurish internet writer, Robert X. Cringely, is one of the reasons why I don't subscribe to your irrelevent magazine anymore. Since the website is free, I don't have to lay down my hard earned bucks to be insulted by morons like Cringely anymore. The laugh, as they say, is free.

Pay attention you idiots! As Rupert Murdoch takes the "pay for content" model to new heights and is making money for News Corp and it's shareholders, [censored] like Cringely still don't get it while he [censored] to his image in the mirror and takes magazines like PCWorld down the tubes. Enjoy the ride, you moronic [censored]!!
