Took me 10 years of doing Hate Mail -- close to 500 editions of this unseemly affront to journalism -- but it dawned on me today why so many readers don't like me:

They can't read.

I submit my proof.

From: Matthew Sherry

Please cite one instance of anyone at West Virginia saying Geno Smith was a bad leader. That's coming from media, not WVU

It's almost like you missed the whole point of my story. Maybe you have to be a writer to get it ...

From: Jeff Woolard

Ironic that you would blast Holgorsen for lack of depth as an individual -- and then display the same in an article. His reference to the poor leadership had nothing to do with Geno, Tavon Austin or Stedman Bailey. From a writer that covers the Mountaineers, this is below your ability.

... or maybe not. It's almost like you missed the whole point of my story, too.

From: Robert Bartolini

Any reason for you to be moralistic and show you are better and more compassionate. Go tell all these kids spending their entire existence living and sleeping their sport for this one chance at the Olympics, that they can't go compete because the U.S. wants to tell another country how to live.

It's almost like you missed the whole point of THAT story. Can anyone around here read?

From: Robert Bartolini

Don't like most of your stuff, but this Eagles column isn't bad.

You might like more of my stuff if you understood more of my stuff.

From: Ray Walton

Dammit, Doyel. Just when I ask why you aren't playing in traffic, you come along with a column on Les Miles that makes me glad you aren't. Really well done, sir.

That's two nice emails this week! And yes, I'm counting an email that wonders why I don't play in traffic as "nice."

From: Mike Mullenix

You're the No. 1 hack in college sports. No difference in you and Corso, Holtz or Herbstreit. Get a real job.

I'm No. 1! Well, wait. If there's no difference between me and those other three guys, are we all No. 1? We can't all be No. 1, Mike. Make up your mind. Given your complexity upstairs -- I'm looking at your final, biting sentence -- it shouldn't take you long to sort your thoughts.

From: Rusty Huff

Keep hating on West Virginia. Lol.

Hating on West Virginia? I kind of thought I was defending your star quarterback from 2012. His name is Geno Smith. Remember him?

From: Trey West, first email

Your column about Jeremy Hill's reinstatement is bitter and lazy. I have two misdemeanors on my record despite completing college, getting married, having wonderful kids, going to church, and trying to live the best way I can -- but I guess according to you I should be put away for good.

Well golly, Trey, did your two misdemeanors involve underage sex and violent sucker punches? I need some context here. You a monster, Trey?

From: Trey West, second email

In your opinion, carnal knowledge of a minor = despicable act of violence. You really are a hack. And why are you so angry with all the Hate Mail? I figured as a writer you'd just roll with it, but no, you'd rather cry about it.

Ah. No, you're not a monster. Just a moron.

From: Jason Hudson, first email

I understand why you write negative about LSU, and it's OK, I kinda feel sorry for you. Jealous is no way to live. Try being unbiased.

Show me a huge high school senior who teams up with another senior to have sexual contact with a 14-year-old girl -- and show me that same guy who becomes an even bigger college freshman who sucker-punches a man outside a bar -- and you're damn right I'm biased. I'm the most biased SOB you'll ever see.

From: Jason Hudson, second email

I would like to know why you keep referring to Jeremy Hill as a "vicious predator"? What college-aged guy hasn't been in a bar fight at some point?

A "bar fight," huh ... Are you real, Jason -- or are you just pretending to be an LSU fan, trying to make LSU fans look stupid?

From: Fred Korndorffer

I am a staunch LSU fan and have not abandoned them, even during the Hallman era. I will not abandon them now, but I am disgusted with the recent events. I was willing to go along with Les giving Honey Badger a second chance until I found out it was more like a twelfth chance. I was proud that he booted Ryan Perrilloux even at his detriment although now I have to wonder how many chances were given there as well. Now I am cheering for a team coached by someone who would rather win at any cost than do the right thing. I'm sure you know this, but not all LSU fans are as stupid as some of the ones writing you.

I know it, Fred. Thanks for writing.

From: Ann Swisshelm

I read one of your articles, and from there it took two clicks to find your bio. The reasons to find it were the following: 1. You wrote an incredibly sensitive article on a horrific subject. 2. You write with a respectful edge when addressing Western nations regarding Russia's barbaric anti-homosexual laws. 3. You ended your article with the most powerful sporting sociopolitical image in the history of the Olympics. My question for you: Can you write your bio with that same respectful edge? I came because I liked what you wrote. Have faith, Gregg. Maybe not everyone is angry. Well, at least not until they read your bio. bad enough Have a nice day.

Ann Swisshelm 2002 Olympian, 2014 Hopeful

An Olympic curler wrote me! Woohoo! Thank you for the wonderful note, Ann, and to answer your question about my bio: No.

From: Marcus W.

Don't get caught up in the hype. Russia may very well be taking a page out of the U.S. playbook and have a new story (ban of homosexual openness) overshadow a previous one (Snowden granted asylum) to divert attention. Watch Russia repeal the ruling three months before the Olympic games.

I do think Russia is that devious. I do not think Russia is that smart. That's right, Putin, I said it. What you gonna do about it?

From: Lloyd Graff

Les Miles will probably suspend Jeremy Hill, and you cannot come down on Les until he does. I wonder if you had the chance to cut down Charlie Strong for taking Michael Dyer on his team.

When the facts are against you -- and they're against LSU in the case of Jeremy Hill, who belongs in prison more than he belongs on a football field -- then deflect, deflect, deflect. Don't look at LSU, look at Louisville! That tactic may pass for logic on your message board, Lloyd, but out here where people breathe through their noses? Doesn't work.

From: Greg Roman

Shouldn't the Texas A&M Board of Trustees hire Louis Freeh first? Then he can come in and explore millions of documents, interview hundreds of witnesses, find one or two autographed items, collect $6.5 million for his efforts and place the entire blame at the feet of Manziel's head coach? And then you can write about it ad nauseam for 2 years? Like the Drama Queen you are?

Hey everyone, meet Greg Roman. This guy has been stalking me on various social media platforms since the Sandusky story broke. If my rabbit ever gets boiled, he's my first guess. Thanks for writing, Greg. Stay stalking, my friend.
