Student offends fan with generalizations

I am writing this letter in response to the blatant overgeneralization of one Kyle Plesniak. Although he says that the tone of the letter is intended to be humorous, it struck a chord with me. To say that one group of people, namely Phish fans, are not practicing proper hygiene is preposterous. I know that some of Phish's following might fall under his improper remarks, but to say that it would make someone's concert experience less enjoyable is also absurd. I myself am a serious Phish fan, but most would never know just looking at me, or smelling me. Henceforth, I was offended by your letter, and I am positive nobody is or will be offended by my "odor."
