Dear Writers,

Despite disturbing appearances to the contrary, we value you as loyal paying human customers.

We would’ve spoken sooner, but our pocketbooks are just fine, if you catch my meaning.

Your pocketbooks are frankly an afterthought and sometimes we forget that some of you actually rely on the extra earnings to pay for food or bills or whatever.

Empathy isn’t our strong suit. As for communication, we are still trying to learn the basics.

As my colleague in crime noted* earlier, we are twerking with the way we calculate your earnings. Even if that might mean jerking with your emotions. So be it. Let’s just say it’s a glitch.

I think said it best* when he noted “It seems a glitch has been tweaking my income.”

Even if he misspelled ‘twerking.’

Put another way, we are taking a hammer to glitches. And by glitches, we mean writers who comment too much, or too regularly*.

We don’t like you.
