Karen Gets Angry

Hi Scott,

Just wanted to let you know how hurtful it is to see my name used as a stand-in for a whinger in last week’s column (‘Karen Gets Angry’). When it’s used by such highly respected people as yourself it just perpetuates it. You wouldn’t believe how many people snigger when I tell them my name. How about you stop stereotyping people?

Oh, Karen!

I’m sorry for taking such a cheap shot. And I should know better. After all, my family has also been affected by negative name associations: my old man’s name is Donald (as in the guy with the orange hair) and my name is Scott (as in the guy from marketing). This too shall pass, Kazz.

Scott.
