This '''Mailbag''' marked the first time the words of other humans appeared on CWCipedia, which up to that point had been all Chris all the time.

	The Mailbag quickly overflowed from its original page into a series of numbered pages, each one containing a random assortment of fanmail for Chris to respond to with his own special brand of [[Honest Content]]. This quickly became the best way to ask Chris any manner of questions about his deeply disturbing life, though Chris has become disillusioned with the practice over time (especially as letters increasingly focused on his many failures and [[autism\|other shortcomings]]). Chris ceased answering the letters in [[February 2010]], during which he was more focused on [[The Wallflower]] than his works and left them to rot after he "abandoned" the [[Internet]] and the original [[CWCipedia]] was deleted.

	Perhaps the most telling parts of the Mailbags are not Chris's answers, but the letters Chris refuses to answer. In the first few Mailbags, all e-mails that did not lavish adequate amounts of praise on Chris were promptly deleted. A few that ''did'' lavish praise on him were also deleted, because they were written by people whom Chris found objectionable. These "unwanted" individuals generally consisted of [[Homos\|gays]], [[~~Niggos~~\|blacks]], and [[Chris and religion\|atheists]]. A couple of other individuals were silenced when they confused Chris with the [[CChanSonichuCWC\|other, better Chris]]. Finally, one e-mail was only partially deleted, because the author stated that he was not fond of Michael Bay's ''[[Transformers]]'' movies.

Finally, one e-mail was only partially deleted, because the author stated that he was not fond of Michael Bay's ''[[Transformers]]'' movies.

	In later Mailbags, Chris deleted less mail, notably after a few messages called him out on his suppression of the press. His choices for deletion however, became more erratic, deleting messages from people who wanted to actually help him, or from people asking serious honest questions. Eventually Chris added a [[Rejected Mailbag]] page to the CWCipedia, as a place for e-mails he rejected, saying that they had "offensive, or mislabeling, content that I, Christian W. Chandler, would not care to respond to." Oddly, he then typed full responses to several of these "rejected" letters, making the whole thing pointless.

	On 19 [[November 2009]], the [[Cogsdev\|sysop]] of [[CWCipedia]] created a new page for [[Chris]] to answer [[troll\|fan]] e-mails. This '''Mailbag''' marked the first time the words of other humans appeared on CWCipedia, which up to that point had been all Chris all the time.		On 19 [[November 2009]], the [[Cogsdev\|sysop]] of [[CWCipedia]] created a new page for [[Chris]] to answer [[troll\|fan]] e-mails. This '''Mailbag''' marked the first time the words of other humans appeared on CWCipedia, which up to that point had been all Chris all the time.

	The Mailbag quickly overflowed from its original page into a series of numbered pages, each one containing a random assortment of fanmail for Chris to respond to with his own special brand of [[Honest Content]]. This quickly became the best way to ask Chris any manner of questions about his deeply disturbing life, though Chris has become disillusioned with the practice over time (especially as letters increasingly focused on his many failures and [[autism\|other shortcomings]]). Chris ceased answering the letters in [[February 2010]], during which he was more focused on [[The Wallflower]] than his works and left them to rot after he "abandoned" the [[Internet]] and the original [[CWCipedia]] was deleted.

	* '''Chris's aversion to certain words is as strong as ever.''' While Chris has apparently got over using the word "dick", his reliance on [[CWC-isms]] remains unchecked, the most notable example would be referring to a swastika as a "[[Mailbag 5#That wacky Hitler\|four-boomerang-shaped symbol]]". In a [[Common Questions#22 February 2010\|Common Questions]] section, however, he did use the word "[[Wikipedia:swastika\|swastika]]", so he may be improving in this area.		* '''Chris's aversion to certain words is as strong as ever.'''

	* '''Chris is fully aware of the fact that he's plagiarizing.''' When speaking about his inspiration, he said that his ideas were sometimes "borrowed from a [[Television\|TV show]] or movie." He also treated fan suggestions as though he was going to take every single one of them rather than coming up with his own ideas, at [[Mailbag 3#In which Chris gives someone permission to make characters for him to steal\|one point]] giving a fan "permission" to submit a character for Chris to use in a future story.		* '''Chris is fully aware of the fact that he's plagiarizing.'''

	* '''Chris sure does hate [[homos\|gay people]].''' Not consistently, though. When Chris isn't going on about how [[Mailbag 1#The cure for homosexuality\|he's going to cure homosexuality]] or hoping that [[~~Mailbag_49~~\|the homos all die in foreign wars]], he's making vague attempts at damage control, saying things like he wouldn't hate a guy "[[Mailbag 5#Daniel Tammet/Punching your baby will make it gay\|for just one reason]]." It seems like he's aware that his homophobia offends his audience, but his hatred is so visceral that he can't always keep it under wraps.		* '''Chris sure does hate [[homos\|gay people]].'''

	* '''Chris thinks the things he does are groundbreaking.''' In response to a letter about inventions, Chris says that necessity is the mother of inventions and proceeded to name Sonichu and CWCville as inventions.

	* '''Chris is largely unaware of the outside world.''' Obvious, of course, but he has now received letters from people claiming to be [[Mailbag 9#Iranian democracy\|corrupt]] [[Mailbag 3#Leadership role models\|dictators]] (or [[Mailbag 6#North Korea is pretty cool\|their kids]]), [[Mailbag 6#In which Chris recommends a sex store to a serial murderer\|serial]] [[Mailbag 7#Good housekeeping\|murderers]], a [[Mailbag 5#That wacky Hitler\|few]] [[Mailbag 9#Deutschland, Deutschland über alles\|Nazis]], [[Mailbag 1#Chris the inventor\|brilliant artists]], famous [[Mailbag 4#Gabe Newell: white knight\|video game designers]], [[Mailbag 2#Sonichu's Job\|fictional]] [[Mailbag 2#The Guitar Hero workout\|characters]], [[Mailbag 9#Chris the illest rapper\|rock stars]], [[~~Mailbag_55~~\|internationally famous lounge singers]], [[~~Mailbag_9~~#~~Request_hour~~\|a bisexual German cannibal]], [[~~Mailbag_34~~\|the heroes of various cult-favorite video games]], [[Mailbag 55\|a deceased porn star offering a conditional date]], and [[Mailbag 4#Hail Satan\|the Devil himself]].<ref>See [[Mailbag/References]] for the full list of famous individuals whose identities were used by mailers.</ref> The only person Chris has managed to recognize is horror author Stephen King in [[Mailbag 26\|Mailbag #26]], probably because Chris was familiar with the Stephen King-related ''[[Family Guy]]'' episode. In [[Alec Benson Leary Phone Call 8\|Alec Benson Leary Phone Call #8]], he says he confused "Mike Jackson" with Michael Jackson, ''painfully'' oblivious to the fact that there are a lot of people with same names, or that people could use pen names that happen to be inspired by famous people.		* '''Chris is largely unaware of the outside world.'''

	* '''Chris thinks girlfriends solve everything.''' Inevitably, his advice to most of his correspondents who are having any kind of problem is that they should find a girlfriend. Since Chris imagines a girlfriend as a nurturing mother figure who provides for your every need in addition to giving up the [[china]], he reckons that they're the solution to any and all emotional or practical difficulties. In particular, this is his response to anyone who is worried that they might be experiencing "homo urges".		* '''Chris thinks girlfriends solve everything.'''

	Perhaps the most telling parts of the Mailbags are not Chris's answers, but the letters Chris refuses to answer. In the first few Mailbags, all e-mails that did not lavish adequate amounts of praise on Chris were promptly deleted. A few that ''did'' lavish praise on him were also deleted, because they were written by people whom Chris found objectionable. These "unwanted" individuals generally consisted of [[Homos\|gays]], [[Niggos\|blacks]], and [[Chris and religion\|atheists]]. A couple of other individuals were silenced when they confused Chris with the [[CChanSonichuCWC\|other, better Chris]]. Finally, one e-mail was only partially deleted, because the author stated that he was not fond of Michael Bay's ''[[Transformers]]'' movies.
