I just had a post deleted in about two minutes, as a matter of fact it was deleted while I was adding some more info to it. It was in the thread where IV was wringing his hands about O or Lance Thompson going to Florida STate, which neither one would even consider doing right now.
Anyone, dropped down to the Griff the Stiff thread. This reply won't last long either!

That may or may not be the truth, but I would not pass that judgement as I don't know. And since I'm sure Writer32 doesn't either, he shouldn't do that.
My point? He's a professional who goes to nearly every board linking his columns for all us "idiots" to read. It helps him. It helps his ability to continue to post blogs or columns or whatever it is he does. Frankly, I don't open those links. But if the UT fan base is his customer, why is he so quick to disrespect those who do help him put food on the table? I've learned that journalism used to be a profession of integrity. Unfortunately, many at the KNS have, over the years, begun to change my mind about that. It's unfortunate that Mr. Writer32 still pedals his columns but cannot return the respect that he is soliciting us for....readership but not an opposing opinion? Over the years, I've learned that sports message boards are generally not for the squeamish, so if posters in this thread who are asking for him to expound on his knowledge/opinion, it shouldn't be that difficult to do. But to resort to name calling places him far below where I thought he was and where I still think he should be.....professional. But that's just the opinion of another idiot I suppose.
Bernie, he pimps his blog all over the net. No one expects him to be a cheerleader for the Vols, but neither do they expect that he continue to diss the new staff every opportunity he gets whether real or a product of his imagination. Hey Griff the arbitrons are in from when you were on with that convicted pervert Jim Steele. You had 48 people listening to the broadcast.
