Was that necessary?

You don\'t think dedicating space on his \"news\" blog to a casual game show proposal with an unflattering picture of the OP a little... off?

There\'s a difference between being a self-serving douchecopter and needing actual professional help. As someone who has been counseled professionally, I find the comparison offensive.

Get new material, Joe.

I\'ve been one of his harshest critics but when many of your contributions to the on-topic sections in recent months are just snarky or rude remarks towards people you\'ve jabbed at multiple times previously without provocation, he may not be the only one who should step back and observe the past.

Fair enough. I appreciate the honesty and will try to improve my attitude in the future.

I think if he\'s writing *there*, it means he\'s not writing *here*. So let\'s encourage him to write *there*.

The only thing odd about that article, that stood out to me anyway, was his need to post Jay\'s avatar with the caption \"Jay Temple. apparently.\" As if that\'s actually an accurate representation of Jay. Although, I\'ve never met Jay, so who knows. For all I know Chris could indeed look like a shark with a blood thirst for hockey players.


 


Other than that, a fine article (I mean we do analyze things here), just from a source some may not happen to like a lot.

IIRC that\'s Jay\'s avatar. Which is why the joke is stupid.

What was even \"fine\" about it? The writing is terrible, he can\'t even count to two, it doesn\'t really have a point at all.

It doesn\'t have a point, but it is just there. Yes, the \"One Question\" bit is rather pointless (especially the bolding), but other than that it doesn\'t offend me. I suppose that\'s what I mean by \"fine\".

Since I actually have college writing credits (and they\'re all 100s or 110s, so not so high-falutin\' as all that) being un-offensive isn\'t enough to get you to a D minus; you actually have to have a point and make it persuasively, never mind the kind of clunky writing errors that would find a high school composition book swimming in red ink. And that says nothing of using Jay\'s avatar (isn\'t that from one of the stop-motion Christmas specials?) instead of not doing that.
