[QUOTE="Billy Clyde, post: 2735055, member: 73690"] I agree with the second point, but ask yourself a question: What the heck IS he here for? Seriously. To Inform? (Fail) Rarely, if ever has anything he has written had "news" content. To Enlighten? (Fail) Do his "articles" provoke thought on a deeper level? Or at all? Not that I've ever noticed. To Entertain? (Fail) Ever get a chuckle from his writing? Or just irritated at the failed, snide attempt at smarmy humor? IMO, his stuff pretty much ALWAYS falls into the, "swing and a miss," category. Maybe I'm just excessively Old School, but Inform, Enlighten, or Entertain are the only reasons I can think of for newspapers, and their, "writers" to exist. I think what makes it even worse is, that there have been so many good-to-great ones come through Fort Worth, some of whom would no doubt love to have the opportunity he continually wastes. [/QUOTE]
