'American Bible Challenge' premieres tonight

[Mr. Armadillo]

remotely stable ratings,

What does that even mean?

Ratings have stabilized for It Takes a Church. Since the premiere, ratings have not skyrocketed or fallen to the Earth either.

It lost 10 percent of its audience from the premiere. That's not really something to write off.

By 'stabilized', he meant that the ratings have stopped falling, since the third episode was slightly higher than the second.

So how are they "remotely stable" instead of merely "stable"?

With all of the perfectly valid reasons to dismiss LGY, is pushing a matter of language semantics really necessary?

It goes to the fact that he's a really lousy writer with diploma from the Alex Davis School of Adjectival Cramming: you wouldn't say "ratings were far-off stable" if you wanted to be understood, much less respected.

I also don't like that he can't be arsed to break up his e-mail address so it falls over into whatever post he excreted. But at this point I think anything he can do to help his cause (including becoming a better writer) is worthwhile. If all he's doing is regurgitating ratings data then there's no need for prose at all.

Right. We get that. The horse is dead and it's not going to be resuscitated. Why keep beating it? Why minimalize other, more legitimate criticisms by watering them down with this?

I also don't like that he can't be arsed to break up his e-mail address so it falls over into whatever post he excreted.

Oh for God's sake.

Was that wrong? Should I not have done that?

The dead horse is stable. 

The dead horse is not in the stable.

The dead horse's excrement is stable.

The dead horse's excrement is not in the stable.

Carry on.

Hey everyone,

(mindless drivel snipped)

I think the only person who cares is you...as you're the only person who likes your writing style.

The ratings for ABC last season were, at times, well over 1M viewers.  Now it pulls in about half of that, and you think GSN may renew based on those numbers?

(Consider the source, and all that.)

That reminds me, weren't you adamant that ABC's 3rd season wouldn't debut until summer?  How'd that work out for you?

2) It is Summer.

Words have meanings.  Weren't you adamant that ABC's 3rd season wouldn't debut until summer?

You must have misunderstood your question. He said "It is Summer," therefore he is correct.

Just give it up, kid....Your credibility in here is already torn way, way far beyond repair, and the Great GSN Staffer Email Fracas of 2014 didn't help you either.
