Title: I've seen some homer writers in my day... Post by: Black Diamond Vol on July 14, 2013, 07:49:27 EDT ...but just...wow. If you're a journalist who gets so close to your subjects that you become THIS blind to the obvious, it's time to re-evaluate your career. :frown:

Post by: Creek Walker on July 14, 2013, 08:11:57 EDT That WAS a little humorous. The comments beneath the post were telling. Are we to believe that of all the people reading Buddy's article that only the folks who want to say "Great job!" or "Nice writing" are responding? I left a comment to see if he has the spine to post it. I don't think he will. If he doesn't, well, I guess that tells us all we need to know about Buddy. Nothing wrong with going to bat for one's friend, but don't do it under the pretense of objective journalism.

Post by: Black Diamond Vol on July 14, 2013, 10:18:16 EDT This is the third guy I've seen that has written about the "private bible study sessions" that urbs conducted in his home with AH. Idle thought: wad Huntley Johnson present for any/all of these sessions? Just asking. :frown:

What a homer that guy is. He denies that he is and then goes about telling us about the close relationship and how much socializing he did with Meyer, just proving that he's a homer.

Seeing as several others HAVE been published since then, I can only assume mine won't be. :frown: Title: Re: I've seen some homer writers in my day... Post by: Creek Walker on July 17, 2013, 01:07:56 EDT I was a little surprised to see him publish mine and a few other that could be interpreted as negative. So maybe I have to give him a little more credit.
But only a little. :laugh: Title: Re: I've seen some homer writers in my day...

I didn't get disrespectful or anything, but I DID challenge his premise of "If I didn't witness it, it didn't happen". And I questioned if the access that urbs allowed him was really as "unlimited" as he seems to think it was. :dance: |
