Dear Dr Goldacre,
I both love and hate you. It was you who inspired me to spend the best part of a year distilling Why Newspapers Lie, Scientists Are Obtuse And People Are Really Fucking Ignorant into 10 000 words. All the research involved in this stiffened my resolve to become an academic (/rock star/journalist/novelist/Lady of Leisure, because I can dream) and teach people Not To Be So Ignorant; which in turn has meant I actually have to do actual uni work in hopes of getting good enough grades to do post-grad-type things so I can tell people they are ignorant in a sufficiently authoritative voice. Also, you will keep on blogging about things I can use in my dissertation even though, as it turns out, I actually have to reference other people who aren't you. You bastard.

However. Even though my dissertation-stress is quite clearly all your fault, and even though researching woo has meant I have to study the works of such intellectuals as Jenny McCarthy and the Society of Homeopaths, I do quite dig your work.

Message ends.

Should be finished in about a week, as long as I don't procrastinate on the internet too much.
