Did a search on Google for the subject. Came up with this info.
(copied from Urbanlegends.com)
Synopsis: Jim Neugent complained to ABC about the pro-gay themes of its television series 'The Practice' and received a rude antireligious rant in reply.
Is it true? Yes, but it's not quite the whole story.
Why? Yes, there really is a Jim Neugent. And, yes, he really did send the email complaint to ABC and received the rude reply from an ABC employee. But the story didn't end there. What the email does not mention is that the ABC employee who originally replied was not authorized to do so and was fired as a result of the rant. The email doesn't mention that Mr. Neugent received two polite apologies from ABC for the incident.
