I think there is also a difference between Howard the writer and Bob the man and letter writer. No
one has brought up this point yet. Two personas, two thinking hats. Was Bob the writer aware of his
duty to his audience versus Bob the man who didn't have to care. Regardless of this, if it was the
case, I still don't see the fervent hate bleeding through into his work.
Agreed; but I would even say that there is a difference
between Bob the writer and letter writer and Bob the man. He could be very
much aware of his "audience" when writing letters.
