Separating the fanboy from the journalist (or, "we" vs. "they")

Well, of course, he just blew through about 1,000 posts in less than two weeks ... no time to smell the roses ...

 

aren't all fanboi's on meth?

 

Oops, just checked my notes. MikeD scored 1,000 posts in about 17 days. He'll pass me by next week.

 

i blame meth ... i really do.

 

he might pass you by the weekend, w-b

 

Understandable, I guess, if they only see you when they play a certain team. That said, don't blame you a bit for disliking the insinuation.

Spnited, I understand and respect your position on AW's column. From this reader's point of view, his moment of weakness/school pride made for an interesting story... but that doesn't mean I favor widespread use of the communal "we" even by fans, much less working writers.

 

Fuck. Someone's got to tell me when I become the topic of conversation. ...

I'm telling you guys, when it's just a shred of a life onto which you're clinging, 1,000-plus posts in 17 days is nothing. And I wasn't on the meth. I was eating Cocoa Puffs for dinner. So there.

 

as stated above by another poster, i can't blame your instict. that phrase used to bug the shit out of me. but it no longer does. it's hard for me to dislike anyone's opinion who doesn't or shouldn't know any better.

 

naw man, it's so much more fun to "talk" behind your back. ;D

 

So long as that's all you're doing, Mr. Petty.

 

hey, this ain't no full-disclosure site.

 

All right, then. Just remember I'm a person, too.
