I'm happy to let you continue, because it's starting to look like I hit a nerve. I mean, because you seem to be screaming out that I did?

<blockquote class='ipsBlockquote'data-author="Bizziken" data-cid="346794" data-time="1361915719"><p> <br /> I tend to agree with you about Burwell's recent column, but you are becoming exceedingly annoying...could you maybe, and this is just a suggestion, TRY to let it go perhaps. I feel like this thread is bringing down your day. I also feel as if you are yelling at empty park benches at this point...</p></blockquote> So, why do the charges you level at me not apply to those personally attacking me? It would seem that others are having a harder time with me than I them. I enjoy turning the tables on their sort of thinking. And if you think this is "bringing down my day", I'm afraid you're mistaken. My life and my day are quite fantastic. Don't know what to tell you.

This is a typically weak attempt.

Billikens.com, where controversial statements are feared to the point of derision. Hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil, right guys? What a bunch of beta males.

I see a lot of others doing that. I ask you, who started personally attacking who here? What I see is a lot of group think and intolerance of others opinions from those who think they run things around here. Case in point? You, who thinks it's HE who tells me "I'm done here.". Still, I'm the only one sticking to the issue. For the rest of you snark is not a defense either.

Never heard of them. Sounds like you guys have frequent run-ins with other posters simply because you feel compelled to attack them out of disagreement with what they say? Consider yourself exposed.

Why don't you go back and look who started to telling whom to "grow up"? Got any other failed points to attempt to make?

Wow, deep. Funny, guy comes to site, criticizes PUBLIC figure (ie,no particular poster on site), gets called "troll" for it, and every other name in the book. The folks engaging in the attack attempt to accuse him of the very same behavior that they are engaging in. Psychologists call it projection. FYI, were you aware of the irony existing between your attacks on me and your calls for me to "grow up". Or was that just a bonus?

I'm guessing you graduated in the last few years and had your head filled with the typical tripe of today's academia which tries to pawn itself off as an actual education? It's part of the reason so many of you are unemployable. Not sure where you get off calling me a racist, but maybe you'd like to take a stab at explaining how a journalist, this bad, is in that position? Don't be afraid to look inside for the truth, your "Transgender Under Water Basket Weaving" professor might be disappointed, but you'll at least feel like a real man for once.

Yep. It's not "ballsy", it's just not overly PC. Yours is the mind who went there.

Umm...don't be so sure. There's a reason they brought Strauss in to take his place, and it's not so Burwell can do web videos that no one watches.

Once again, about me but not the simple point that the article was an embarrassing joke. You have nothing.

Good question.

Careful, logic and reason may get others calling you a 'racist'.

I can't believe you wrote me that and then finished with that question....LOL. You're telling us you like Burwell because he gave some pub to your favorite program. FYI, that's not his job. I suspect there may be other reasons you're a fan as well. Regardless, you then attack me for pointing out that the piece was riddled with inaccuracies on a level that no journalist would ever not hide their head in shame over. Where do you get off?

Gotta say, I love watching the overly-sensitive apologists twitch when one of their own (Burwell) falls flat on his face for all to see. They know it, but can't own up to it. To make it worse, they resent anyone else pointing it out. So, they naturally do the only thing left: attack those who are pointing it out. If you can show me where this is NOT a full scale embarrassment for any reporter, I'll take it all back. Until such time, have fun venting your spleens on me if it's the only thing you've got left.

"Mediocre"???? LOL! And it's all excused now because he it was positive for SLU? Are you THAT much of a pushover? Oh, and anyone with the mind of a 4th grader, instead of calling a spade a spade, retreats to the "racially motivated comment" line. I think YOU should grow up?

Really? Let's discuss. It's not where I got my Masters, if that's what you mean? Where did you go, if anywhere?

So, in other words, while you accuse me of coming in with pre-conceived notions about Burwell, you just admitted that that's exactly what you did about me. So, let's keep it to issue at hand. Is it or is it not a poor, poor piece of journalism? Answer the question.

Well, you at least got one thing right: Cal sadly is a commie institution. It's still not an education I would crap on here when compared to other schools. By the way, SLU is Jesuit school. Jesuit doctrine is practically synonymous with that of Communism. Look it up.

Yep, more name calling, insinuation, inside jokes, etc. How about taking the actual topic on instead of trying to make it about me? Is it because, while you'd like to defend this ridiculous piece and its author (for whatever bizarre reason), you know that there is no defense? So the only alternative is to go after me. Is this or is this not some of the worst reporting you've ever seen? Answer the question.

You'd better believe it. He trolled my post and got on his self-righteous soap box. I don't care how long you've been here. Does that make a dumb post suddenly a good one?

That's right, no one should have a different opinion than some of the folks who think they are the mind share around here. It's called a different opinion. An opinion many others in STL have of Burwell (incompetent and agenda driven). Deal with it.
