Keep it up, GaitherNice article (again) today. I’m currently in the position you aptly described as a “thick line” between friendship and relationship. It’s certainly good advice not to wait too long. I know all too well; I’ve been guilty of it before.
Anyway, your articles are always insightful and funny (foolish Christians, Ghandi shouldn’t be in hell!). There’s always something like the above that I can relate to. Every day it motivates me to pick up the paper to see if you wrote anything. Keep up the good work and keep the “controversial” yet intelligent thoughts coming, without your voice this paper would be rather bland.

Well written … NOTMr. Gaither, have you seen that new Borat movie? Well, I just wanted to let you know that your column was incredibly insightful and well written … NOT. Most of the time I love reading your columns. They’re always good for a laugh or two, even if it is at your expense. But the thing is, you’ve done one of the most ironic things I’ve seen in quite some time. The column was entitled “Common phrases should be used accurately,” but you’ve done the exact thing you say people shouldn’t do by misusing a common phrase, “There’s a thin line between _______ and _______.” I don’t think you understand the meaning of this phrase. It’s not that, as you say, “the line is thin, so it is hard to be on it.” It means that there is very little that separates two different things. For example: there is a thin line between justice and revenge, because it is often very hard to tell the difference between the two. There is a HUGE difference between having sex with a beautiful woman and getting your eye poked out with a stapler. Honestly, how did a retard such as yourself get into NCSU in the first place? It amazes me how you even manage to breathe.
I hate to make such a big deal out of something so trivial, but I don’t understand how anyone over the age of 16 could be so ignorant. Usually, your failed attempts at wit and humor are wonderfully amusing, but please, don’t be such a fool as to take your own flawed logic and present it as fact.
