Another columnist who can't write

[boots]

All I want to know is what happened to Kevin.

Ask your trusty pipeline. It knows all, remember?

Or you could, you know, read the first page of this thread where, seven months ago, it was mentioned he was part of the DMN buyout.

Either way.

Six months later, Taylor is still a poor writer. Please drive through.

Six months later, you're still a bush-league cheap-shot artist who couldn't hold Jacques' jock. He ain't Shakespeare, but he's gotten a lot of folks fired up in six months as a columnist. He must be doing something right.

Yeah, we get that. But where did he re-surface?

I don't read Taylor. Encountered him once at Cowboys camp, and he seemed a good guy; much more subdued than the guy from the Fort Worth paper.

But it must be noted that some of the worst columnists have the ability to get people "fired up". Inciting emotion is not necessarily an indicator of quality.

Hold Jacques' jock. What a precious little pun.

And there's that idea again that if your readers hate you, you're not a ****-up.

He's not a **** up, but I'll bet you are.

Aside from that, if the person that fired this one up again needs to know where Blackistone is, start up a seperate thread...please allow the above nonsense to die.

Jacque must be doing something right -- columnist at a major paper. How many hacks in here would love to have that job but have zero shot, even if Jacque left today. End of story.

 

[Herbert Anchovy]

Columnist by default, you mean.

A rudimentary google search doesn't show a resurfacing.

Must have been a hell of a buyout.

I've never read this guy, so I have no dog in the hunt. But the quoted post is pure dreck. That assumes all people doing hiring are perfect in their judgments, aren't constrained by budgets, are never told that the next hire has to fit certain non-writing criteria, are never told that an internal hire has to be made, always hire based purely on quality...and so on and so forth.

NOT the point. And if you don't get that, you're in the wrong place. Try, maybe, everythingisgreatdonotcriticizemybuttbuddies.com.

TRUE end of story.

You can't disagree with someone without calling them a mother****ing (one word, not two) idiot?
Your whole argument is lost when you start like that.
I mean, it ain't that hard.

Well I didn't know it was one word. I just hate it when F---s like this beat up a decent piece of writing by pointing out weak shi-. Point out that his opinion is bullshi-, I can live with that...

...although I'd never call you a mother ****ing idiot Moddy. Your too classy for that.

No matter how well someone turns a phrase, the column is pretty much ruined by the weak ****. You can be seven kinds of Hemingway as a writer, but if you can't get the King's English correct, don't bother.

Mike Bianchi, Orlando Sentinel.

A total preening peacock. Read his crap, you'll agree.

Not a pretty face either. Looks even worse with the stupid head-shave.

That's gotta be you Bianch...self-depracating galoot, ya.

I don't give a rat's ass whether you believe it or not. Have it your way. Look, if you think that was a good column, I can't help you.

Rare occasion: LJB and I agree on something.

There's hope for the world.

Guy, the only stuff we don't agree on is the you know what. I'm even with you on David Garrard.
