"Dennis is gone - Thank God" indeed.

I've had zero respect for Dennis ever since we were both staff writers for Hang Gliding magazine and he ambushed me in a letter to the editor over some supposed mistake he found in one of my articles. Professional writers working for the same publication simply do not do that to one another. If he'd bothered to check with me first before sabotaging me, I could have pointed out that it wasn't a mistake, but rather a photographic optical illusion. Dennis breached etiquette to undermine my credibility so as to maintain his position of preeminent hang gliding author.

Hi Davis,

I never claimed to be a journalist. But I'll talk to the editor about that.

Cheers,
Graeme

Miraclepieco,

Maybe you set off Gerame because your displaying a naked Simpsons
character as your avatar?

Even if it's a mistake as a professional staff writer you should raise your
image above our ankles.

If it's a personal choice of avatar then it is a good reason why you and
DP are not on the same page. I can't imagine him waving a naked
A..S…S… At everybody reading his comments..

Besides he is gone and what good does it do to slam the guy??

You look petty…

And yet another hugely repeated post. My irony meter is emitting smoke… Blasting Out this Add Moan Munition for like duh umph teeth thyme.

Hover over this sort of Avatar and you will see a text box aka: "This Avatar was chosen because you have not selected one yet.
It is probably a pretty woman because Scare, Web IT here, likes ladies."

Proof in the pudding, kick out, come back in and the Avatar will have ch ch ch angered to anudder fun…

Yes Fred,

My point is that if your going to slam a guy and claim to
be a professional staff writer you should not leave yourself
an image of a lesser person than your target.

It's not that hard to choose an Avatar if your gonna slam a
public figure. Besides DP is off the committee.

To quote Hilliary Cliton,
"What does it matter"

I Hope she gets Trumped… :36_8_3:

Surely the place to make such accusations would be in the presence of the accused. As is, what is an impartial third party to think? There is no way for us to know if the ax being ground serves truth.
