Reply #10: Dumb, like beauty, [View All]

[trof]

(I guess) is in the eye of the beholder.
The fact that you may move in such rarefied circles that you know Woodruff cuts no ice with me.
You are very much entitled to your opinion, just as I am to mine.
That doesn't make you "dumb". It means that you have a different opinion of a person from mine. This happens. I'm not terribly fond of my brother-in-law. My wife adores him. We cope. I don't call her dumb. She calls me "honey".

To infer that I am dumb, or making myself look that way is insulting. Was that your intention? Why? I don't like your tone.

You could have said, "Now trof, she may sound that way but she's just reading what they give her and she's really a sweet person. I know her and there's not a biased bone in her body. I understand that you disagree with what she says, but she's just doing a job." You could have told me about your relationship and experiences with her and how I had maybe misjudged her. There. Isn't that nicer?

When someone calls me "my friend" my hackles go up, because they usually mean just the opposite. Ah, and my "monster" is imaginary. I don't think she's a monster. Just a shill. Or worse.

From your handle I'd guess you're at an Atlanta news station.
CNN?
unh hunh
Note that I resisted the almost overwhelming desire to tell you what you should do and to the steed that brought you in here.
Peace, my friend.
