This is not about anything that happened here on the forum. Someone unknown went to the trouble of mailing an anonymous 'poison pen' (snail-mail) letter to someone whom we all hold very dear. That person not only dissed the recipient, but also Joe, and claimed to be speaking for more than just him or herself!
It is unacceptable to think that we have such a cowardly sneak in our midst.
It's nice to be civil, take the high road, etc, etc, but maybe a solution would be to write a reciprocal letter to the creature that took the time to put pen to paper, buy a stamp and pour out his miserable pathetic life. One person could do this (George is my choice), but I know he wouldn't do it...some if not all here are a little more classier than that.
Btw, if you're reading this Patty I just want you to know that your kindness and input here are a blessing and I want you back! Curby loves Patty!

The person who wrote this was not very bright, is most certainly miserable, but smart enough not to sign it with a real name. Believe me, anyone of us would "answer" that letter if we knew who to send it to. There have been some nasty comments made in some other parts of "Joe-world" and I for one hope it stays there.

if it is any concern at all please have it passed on to Joe's management. there have been some real strange cookies to say the least on jbxp and fb. obviously the fact this letter has been sent at all indicates the likely lack of mental competence
I agree that I would pass it on to J&R. The fact that it was a letter and not an email or online posting would raise my concern. It also seems likely that the bully reads not only this forum but Facebook, JBXP, etc. as well.
For starters, I would be interested to know where the letter was postmarked?

The postmark was smeared by the post office during the passing through the machines. The letter was not signed and you cannot tell by the penmanship if it was authored by male or female. The envelope was taken back to the post office to see if they could help determine where it was postmarked, they could not figure it out either. The content of the letter sounds more of jealousy than anything else. From what I understand there were no "threats" or acts of aggression.
For those that have been asking about Patty, she has taken on another part time job, saving up for the VIP trip next March! I spoke with he briefly yesterday while she was working at the ballpark.

How anyone could write anything bad about PLJ. Is beyond my comprehension.I have been around here for 6 years and never have heard even a peep of anything bad from her or about her.I hope that she doesn't go away from here because of one mean spirited person.She embodies the love and spirit of this whole forum.This must have been real bad for her to not be on here.I would hope she comes back soon.If somone is jealous...jeez get a life!

Ok, gotcha. Well I'd say whatever was in the letter must have been pretty bad to go to the length of contacting the post office and all. Even the fact that if it were me and someone knew my address to have sent the letter would be a little creepy.. I doubt whomever wrote it will chime in regardless. The responses haven't been malicious in any way thus far, which is good. Believe me, I'm the first to run my mouth in cases like this when people stick their nose into my business, but that isn't always the best thing to do. And in this instance, gives more recognition than necessary to the author.
I pity the fool if they get found out,

Agree with your comments Gary. If it's a jealousy thing ... it points to a woman being bitchy - imo
This whole thing stinks to high heaven.
If in fact this poison has been directed at Patty, I have added to my signature my feelings for all to see and would urge my fellow bonamaniacs to do the same.

Good thing you put "imo" in there - I know more than a few guys who can be "bitchy." There are plenty of jealous guys in the world, it's not just an estrogen thing.

Yes Sandy I know, men are bitchy as well; if Bitchy was an Olympic sport .... women would be the Olympic Gold Medalists - imo
If it turns out I'm wrong - more than happy, and man enough to say sorry to all the women out there.
I had no idea this was an actual letter...assuming it was an email version. I gotta agree this is a bit creepy...knowing your address is out there.
I guess an actual letter is more difficult to trace than an email.
...the fact it was a letter greatly reduces the suspect list no?
...Patty ignore the one! ...stand with the many! ...love and hugs! X
Love you PLJ. You really are the heart of this forum and if this was directed to you, I hope you will ignore it. Whatever the message was, we all know better.
Hugs,
susan
It saddens me to read this.
All You Need Is Love PLJ, you have lots of love here.
This incident has been bugging me all day.I can't seem to shake it. I don't know Patty other than to have met her to say hi.I don't know what was in said letter,but to know there was an attack on her is really messing with my pyche.So here I sit mad and sad.This forum has been and will continue to be a place to share our love of Joes music and all music that touches our very soul.Patty Loves Joe.Who could ever say it better?When I first came here,I saw her forum name and felt at home.I felt that I wasn't some crazy lunitic for hitting everybody over the head with this new JB guy.It felt all right.There a Patty Loves Joe saying it loud and proud.Not afraid to announce it to the world!Always posting loving thoughts about our guy.Don't let anyone take that from you Patty. I do hope you come back the same way as you have always been!
...the Dislocated Girl will be back soon i'm sure! ...she is feeling the Force of this place ...it's ultimately irresistible!
