And I've got a New Year's Resolution too—I'm never gonna hassle the happy idiot Mr. Kelly on this site, or elsewhere in cyberspace, ever again. As I mentioned above, should circumstances ever put us in the same room in the future, that'll be a different story. In the meantime, I'll let him peddle his idiocies here without protest. As Kevin likes to say, "Enjoy!" Yeah, I’m full of the Christmas spirit.

No matter who says what about whom, it kind of makes everyone who writes professionally on the interweb look bad when mistakes or typos are discovered and the attitude seems to be, "enh, it happens, not important." The ability to articulate and present opinions in a grammatically correct format speaks directly to the credibility both of the individual writer, their designated outlet and the blogosphere in general.

That someone should point out that you're an imbecile doesn't make him a troll, and your calling me a troll doesn't make you less of an imbecile. I understand how the internet works. I know that telling someone that he or she ought to stop, because he or she is an idiot, is not necessarily going to have an effect. Still. Hope springs eternal. I love how you try to end every argument with a shrug an an entreaty to "enjoy." Because it's all you've got, isn't it?

I feel really sorry for people like you. What would you do without the internet? Wait in the park like a creepy old man until you overhear someone misuse a word or pronounce something wrong and then pounce on them? Were you abused as a child? Does something give you the need to act out like an internet troll? It's pretty sad. But, you seem to be happy in that role. Enjoy! Boy, Glenn. I feel really sorry for people like you.

Seriously. The fact that you even got to take notes for Henson proves why Hollywood's in such a shithole. I was willing to keep this light, but as you're inclined to not, I'll be glad paste your grinning stupid face any time you'd care to present it to me. Happy Ignorant DIpshit Christmas to you, chief.

It's my fault. I'm a bad editor. Also, sometimes mistakes are made on blogs. Whoops. Glenn, don’t take that out on Kevin. It’s my fault. I’m a bad editor. Also, sometimes mistakes are made on blogs.
