 The Chronicle welcomes you online! Please feel free to respond to these editorials or letters to the editor by sending your letters to the editor.

We condense letters; most, as published, won't exceed 300 words. A letter must include the writer's name and city, which will be published, and an address and telephone number for verification, which will not be published. Writers may be limited to one letter every 30 days. Open letters, letters to third parties and poetry are not considered. Letters from people living outside the Chronicle's circulation area usually are not considered.

Rips `intolerant' language in letters

Editor, The Chronicle

I would like to take issue with Anna Fellows' Jan. 9 letter defending the Rev. Timothy Fellows Sr., who in his Dec. 1 letter equated Hindus, Buddhists and Muslims to ``savages, pagans, and barbarians.''

This kind of talk is very divisive considering that there are large numbers of followers of these faiths in the Central Savannah River Area. Rev. Fellows is free to espouse his brand of religious intolerance wherever he preaches, but I believe it is the responsibility of The Chronicle to refuse to publish such hate letters just as I am sure the newspaper would decline to publish letters using direct racial slurs.
