Dick Yarbrough's column invariably invokes a response from his readers.
Yarbrough received over 1,000 email
responses last year - both positive and negative. Though most of the emails
he receives support his viewpoints, one thing is for sure: Dick Yarbrough's
column speaks to people and they respond. Here is a sampling of email
responses Yarbrough has received in the past:
-
Just finished
reading your column and as usual enjoyed it very much.
Real thrilled that there is someone that is still willing to put in
print the truth.
-
When it comes to
presenting your views, you are a public giant but when it comes to
defending them you are a private wimp.
-
You are my hero -- I
do believe that the late Lewis Grizzard, a fellow Jawja graduate, is
speaking to you from the grave.
-
Maybe you should
write more carefully, you thoughtless bigot. I'm training Fido right now
to attack a cardboard cutout of you, so you better not walk by my
neighborhood.
-
Thanks for a great
column. I haven't laughed so hard in years.
-
I don't usually read
editorials because I am a school teacher and shoot out the door in the
morning leaving the paper for my husband to read, and my blood pressure
can't take them sometimes. I'm lucky if I get the headlines read. This
summer I have really enjoyed reading your column though and will
probably make time for it during the school year.
-
You talk about
respect of a lot of things yet you are always disrespecting one of our
past presidents. This would seem to fly in direct conflict with your
views on respect. Maybe you can enlighten your readers on when respect
is to be given sometimes but not all the time.
-
Your penchant for
thumping the tub is so often directed amiss. This is a tendency you seem
to share with too many other Georgians.
-
It is rare that I
laugh aloud when reading. But something about the Roy Acuff Institute of
Southern Banjo Music and Roadside Fireworks just hit me right. Splendid,
albeit lunatic, notion.
-
It just amazes me
that people such as yourself, who have the ability to shape minds and
attitudes, can be so darn ignorant.
-
Keep on writing and
I will keep on reading.
