Isn’t this essentially stereotyping Midwesterners? What makes it ok to stereotype one group, but not others?
Bless her heart.
Sounds condescending, if there was a point or something I was supposed to takeaway, I missed it.
Yes her articles are terrible. I mean…what is this? She graduated from Harvard with a degree in English lit? Really?
jeez. let this thread die. we already know she reads this and she finds it offensive. dont understand why you need to bring her up in order to bring her down.
I work as a Financial Advisor. These articles in no way reflect anything meaningful for us.
I know right. Super patronizing / condescending. Replace the label for one region with another, say, Mexicans and see how that flies.
How did I ever not see this thread until now?! Gold!!!
As stated before, I’m just commenting on her writing. Not a personal attack, just a literary criticism (of the person who has a bachelor’s in literary criticism from Harvard. Don’t know what that says about Harvard.)
And if the mods think this poses a threat to the continued existence of AF, then they are free to lock it or nuke it.
im not trying to defend the value of the content nor am i trying to defend the existence of af. im essentially asking why do you continue to be a dick to a person who has already called you out for being an asshole. has she offended you in any way? ur a religious dude, do religious shit, be nice. lets stop the cyber bullying.
^ Why exactly did she call Greenie out?
She actually posted here - a celebrity appearance, wow! Because Greenman criticized her website, and was joined by some other people. Some of the criticisms were a bit unprofessional. However, some criticisms were valid. In particular, she misrepresented her writing credentials in a paragraph that was removed later. Personally, I find her writing to be distasteful, but Greenman seems to have some kind of personal vendetta against her.
I for one stand in solidarity with Greenie and cyber bullies everywhere for my right to be an asshole. If I have to put up with all of the stupid shit I’m inundated with on a daily basis, it’s fair they have to put up with me pointing at it and laughing.
Additionally, on the sliding scale of being religious ranging from human sacrifice to ala snackbar in a theater, I’m sure this will be ok. I’m also not sure the criticism has much merit anyhow from the guy who uses this forum as his personal diary to shit all over his friends/parents and air their personal/financial problems for some sort of #Likes. Hard to say, who knows, not really an expert on what’s acceptable these days.
Criticizing people’s actions if they’re women is sexist.
I can’t believe I completely agree with you.
I won’t let it happen again.
Very good, thank you sir.
Well let me call the wambulance for you Sara. When you write articles and they get posted on the internet for everyone to read, some readers may like the content, writing style, (or whatever its supposed to be) and other may not.
I assume she’s getting some form of compensation to write these articles - so there is that too.
I don’t think Greenie made any racist or other disparaging remarks (based on what I recall); just pointing out the fact that he thinks she’s a lousy writer and writes poor content. (And I’ve read several of her articles in this thread and I agree).
I haven’t actually seen her response post so its difficult to comment on any valid criticisms.
I actually laughed out load when I read this.
