Re: Death Visits Ridecamp in the May EN!!!!!!!



Nina you missed the point, Howard's story does not belong in a national
publication.  And from the replies I've received you are sorely out numbered
in your opinion.  Regardless of the story it doesn't belong in EN and the
fact that Doyle PAID for the story makes it even worse.  I know quite a few
people who have had better articles then that in EN and they never received
a cent!  At worse it should of been edited, at best not published at all.

As for Angie not having a last name, give me a break!  Maybe we weren't
there but quite a few of us know Angie and are totally aware of their
"relationship".  As for a ileus colic, one of the main causes of a iIeus
colic is the lack of water, they stop drinking, their motility decreases
with lack of water.  Did you read that in your text book?

I am not disputing that ANYONE can have a bad day, I am disputing that we
don't need this type of trash writing in EN.  Camp sex talk, pre-ride sex
traditions, slandering people.  Nope not in our publication!
