Disgruntled with what he thought was a sea of terrible writing on a beloved platform he was still getting used to, Sir Jerrold III needed to unleash the frustration that was bubbling within his soul. So he wrote a passionate letter to Medium and sent it to their inbox online.

He hoped they would receive it, read it, and acted on his plea for the change he wanted.

Dear Medium,

I went to the University of Cambridge for ten years in the wilderness, sharpening my skills as a writer. I had slain lions, tigers & bears while I was learning at Cambridge.

After a grueling ten years of learning, I eventually graduated with some of your majesty’s finest writers.

I’m a professional writer & well trained at coloring in coloring books, and must say that I’m offended by all of these peasant writers that I feel are beneath me with their personal stories & poems that no true writer would care about. I did not come on Medium for THAT. I came on here for respected writing like journalism & factual writing.

I ask that you remove these peasants from my sight, so I claim all the glory for myself, and one day be crowned KING of the writing knights! Thank you for your gracious read.

Your servant,

Sir Jerrold III

After he finished his letter, he spent 30 minutes taking off all the Knight armor he had on and ate some Haagan Das Butter Pecan Ice Cream to calm his nerves.

This short tale & letter does not reflect the author’s personal beliefs & thoughts. His imagination ran wild & free on the day of this post. However, he is a big fan of Haagan Das Ice Cream. That part is factual.

THANK YOU FOR READING!
