To the Sports Editor:

I take great exception to the column Mike DiMauro wrote about Ledyard last Friday.

His picture above the column shows him smiling. Yet that seems totally at odds with the negativism laced throughout his article which you published.

Take this challenge: re-read the article and ask yourself the following key questions:

How many times does he use disparaging language?

Does that meet your standards and expectations?

How do you think his twisted opinion makes any part of this world a better

place?

Perhaps you should be reading his future articles, or give him explicit direction to limit his

future words to the subject of sports?

What value does he really bring to The Day?

Due to him, you have just lost one reader forever, that's for sure!
