I have not attacked Larry. I believe that characterization is an example of your bias.
I have read many of Larry's creations here and at Views and enjoyed most. In the past 10 days or so, he has had an annonymous ex-player, an unnamed tester, and a guest writer all personally slam Mitch's approach. To me, that seems like a method of making your point without having to actually say it yourself. And, I found the comments of those to which he deferred to be immature and not worthy of print. It seemed personal. You can call that an attack, but it sincerely comes from a reader who has enjoyed Larry's offerings. Something seemed to change to me, but not overtly.
And, finally, I did not leap to any conclusions. I stated an opinion, based upon Mick's comment about media anger. Mick's comment must have some relevance to the current discussion. I merely stated what I believe is true about journalists who cannot keep their personal feelings from skewing their published offerings. I perceive negative feelings in some of Larry's columns. Hence, the reason for my inquiry.
This is Larry's spot, so I presented my question here. I agree that smart people can be snarky. You see that in my posts. I see it in your posts. I will pursue this here no more and apologize for continuing this line.
