Knicks fans have been through a lot so far this season. A lot. In fact, they've been through a lot over the course of the last 15 years or so, ever since Knicks owner James Dolan took over the franchise and proceeded to screw it up in just about every way imaginable.

So we're not surprised to hear that an angry Knicks fan, who claims he has been following the team since 1952, wrote an email to Dolan recently and ripped him for everything from his relationship with Isiah Thomas to his inability to get Steve Kerr to become the Knicks' new head coach last summer. The fan wrote, "You have done a lot of utterly STUPID business things with the franchise," in his email to Dolan before adding, "Please NO MORE."

And according to Deadspin, Dolan responded to the fan with a scathing email of his own. You can read it here:

To which we say…WTF? The last thing the Knicks need right now is another PR nightmare on their hands, especially in light of how their 2014-15 NBA season has gone. And yet, that's exactly what Dolan has just given to them. What was he thinking?
