ksmithLots of vitriol posted in comments responding to Josh Olson's rant "I Will Not Read Your F------ Script" But then came this supportive post from David Gerrold:
Josh is being way too polite. The only proper response when an amateur attempts to hand you his manuscript, his screenplay, his unpublished novel, his short story, his treatment, his outline, his notes, is to take an axe to his laptop, follow him home, burn down his house, and salt the ground.
Short form: A friend of his almost lost a job as the result of the simple act of reading an email requesting his aid.
