<<So, your opinion is that>>
My opinion is that much of the public ranting, particularly Weiner's opening post, is about
the format war as much as, if not more than, one TD disrespecting another. My opinion is
that had the conflicting events not been what they were, there would be no one calling out
swaths of people, no ruminating about trash's relationship to QB, no wondering about
dangerous precedents and future implications. It would have been an isolated regional
incident between two TDs.
<<us academic folks are just pissy>>
Yeah, I'll just stop you there. There are of course exceptions, but that is precisely my
opinion, formed some 10 years ago and reinforced consistently. The only variance is the
cast of characters, and just what the problem is this week.
