Are you being serious here, or is this a joke? The reason I think
it is a joke is because the writer starts off by stating that her

Um, You might wanna think about who yr talking to, there, pal. *I'm* a
skinhead, and have been for years. Haven't you ever seen a picture of
me? You implying I'm not a fine upstanding citizen? I've always held
steady employment, served in the military, and I have expressed rather
strong views about racists. The writer happens to be a friend of mine.
Working class pride is a key part of being a Skin-it has been for
nearly 40 years. You've obviously gotten me crossed up with boneheads.
