Dear Mr. Shkreli,

Thank you for your email, and also for tweeting out to our blog post, "Today in Stupid: Martin Shkreli "Diagnoses" Hillary Clinton with Parkinson's Disease." Your Google Alerts game is clearly tight. Congratulations.

We at The Stranger take seriously any concerns as to the factual accuracy of our reporting. But after considerable thought, we feel we must stand by our assertion that you are, in fact, "into emo." Our colleague Ned Lannamann at the Portland Mercury looked extensively at your Spotify profile in December 2015 and found evidence your emo fandom in the form of a "New Emo" playlist. The list is still there this morning. We checked.

Then there is the matter of your supposed Nickelback fandom. (First off, we had to look up the correct spelling of the band's name, so thank you for that. It's good to learn new things.) Second, we see no evidence of your claim. Wu-Tang Clan, yes. Pianos Become the Teeth, definitely. Nickelback, nothing.

We have to assume you're flirting with us. We're taken.

Thanks for the troll,

The Stranger
