Online comments drive editor to retirement

Nobody that ever took a shot at him is going to read that column and think "Yeah, he's right."

If they're "mouth breathers," then who gives a shit what they think? And who would quit a job over them?

If we didn't care what people thought, there wouldn't be a running "Dimwit on the phone" thread.

 

jr/s, I understand what you're saying, but you know what? This is part of the reality of doing this business these days, and it's not changing, so you either make your peace with it or, as this guy is doing, move on. We might not like it, but there it is.
