Dear Trixy "Truthseeker",

Please stop blabbing about your discriminative insecurities here on The Patch. You are defaming the great reputation of our town, and I believe I speak for the majority of Branford when I say we will not tolerate such bigotry. 

You do realize the irony of your beliefs, don't you? You are insisting that we, the citizens of Branford, should agree with you when you say that Muslim members of our community will push their beliefs on non-Muslims and we should therefore be fearful for our very lives. The humor in this is that you yourself are the one aggressively pushing your beliefs (as ignorant as they may be) on people who do not think the same way you do. Trust me, there's a reason we don't think the same way you do. Just how deluded can you possibly be? How long have you lived in this town? Branford contains a plethora of open-minded, accepting people; obviously, you are not one of them.

It's a complete shame that I, an 18-year old college freshman, have to call out whom I assume to be a full-grown adult on the faultiness of her morality and intelligence. I have no choice but to defend the pride of my town so that we can welcome these new members of our community with open arms and assure them that we do not have as backwards views as you do. 

To all members of the community, both old and new, who choose to follow whatever religion they so choose, please believe me when I say that Branford is a fantastic town to live in. I sincerely hope that you do not think we are all as uneducated as Trixy here. I cannot wait to welcome you into your new neighborhood. I live adjacent to Pine Orchard Road and I can say that I wholeheartedly look forward to meeting you.

And as for you Trixy, get your act together. You're embarrassing me.
