An Apology To Merv Griffin's Lover

I received an email last night from someone who is claiming to have been a lover of the now deceased Merv Griffin. The writer in question is very upset at me for publishing the post, "A Flaming Homosexual--Who Is Merv Griffin?" Here is what said writer had to say to The Mayor:

Merv Griffin was a straight man whom loved the warmth of my womanly strength that cuddled ever so warmly against his body and tight hugs. I want to know why you are attacking Merv for an non-sexuality to be said to be of any fact. Merv loved the care and warmth of my heart and lip. He always was full of care and love to the touch of my hand upon his manly demor. He was a business man whom loved my professional care in the Arts and world of attaction of fact. He was a handsome man with the care of the dream of nature and my heart and destiney of love. Caringly try and see if any thing is fact before clasping straight love between anyone whom love one another to be in a future of fate.....honey he was a man whom loved the tightness of my straigth.....Sincerely A beautiful woman

After reading the email the first time, I thought I was the recipient of the old Nigerian bank scam. Upon further reflection, I spotted a few words in the email that were telltale signs that this was a legitimate email, and that the person in fact, loved and had made sweet love to Merv Griffin.

I am going to come right out and say to BMind (the email name she used) that I am terribly sorry if I have offended you. My words were not an attempt to disrespect someone who I personally thought was a great man. I think if you read my post again, you will see that I defended Merv against a vicious outside attack, and treated Merv as if I was the one having sweet sex with him and not you.

You see, I, as well as you, thought the world of Merv Griffin. As you so elequently stated in your email, he "loved the tightness of your straigth". To me, that's a beautiful thing. If a man dedicates his love to a woman's straigth, it speaks volumes about the man, but it also says an awful lot about the woman. And from reading between the lines, I'm sure you are one hell of a woman.

I would never make fun of Merv Griffin and I certainly would not belittle him. I thought he was the cats ass. I hope you understand and forgive me. I hope that one day we can meet and you can tell me stories about Merv and yourself. I hope you can tell me stories about the fun times you both shared, about your trials and tribulations, and of course, about the times when you went down on Merv and when he gave you dirty bum sex until you screamed out his wonderful name.

BMind (the email name she used), once again, I truly hope you accept my most heartfelt apology. Let me extend my hand across the mighty ocean, from Canada to the US of A, and ask forgiveness of you. Please accept, I'm certain Merv would have wanted it that way.
