    "You Pussy": How to Handle Interview Requests On the Internet

    Hey, which puppy-pic-loving novelist and newly minted blogger/defender of the Internet called a former Gawker mascot a "pussy" multiple times in response to a request for an interview?

    Excerpt:

    "And you, pal, are a load of shit, even if your young acolytes who don't know any better don't know it. But you know it, and I know it. What I didn't know until I received this simpering, schizophrenic email is that you are also a pussy. I mean, I suspected it, and you obviously knew it all along, but now I know for sure. You pussy."

    Another possible response: "No thanks." Or: ignore bloggers. They'll lose interest and move on to the next person to call them a "pussy" or at least give a fun quote!
