Happy to meet if circumstances allow. If I’m not on the floor (or at the Supermeet) you can find me in the coffee shop at the Peppermill. Other than that let me know where and I’ll do my best to get there.

Indeed. Puts me in mind of Todd Browning’s Freaks. “Like us…like us…”

I am functionally illiterate, but sadly not a skateboarder. The phrase…”need not apply” does turns my head back to more unpleasant times, though.

No, we do not.

Because I do not respond to you immediately does not mean that I have, as you say, taken my ball elsewhere. We have a perception problem here. Or, as in Cool Hand Luke, a “failure to communicate.” When functioning as an editor I regard my job as doing my utmost to tell the story in the best way possible using what resources I have at my disposal. I do not think of my job as fixing other peoples mistakes. A philosophical difference. You seem to want me to break down and admit that I spend all my time fixing what others have screwed up. And my point, from the very beginning, is that that is not the way I approach the job.

Luck is nonsense. It is an illusion. Luck is not a thing in the real world. You are either working for the success of your current project or you are not. I am really not sure what you are doing.

I don not have the slightest idea what you are talking about.

Wait, I have to recuse myself. You did not in any way refer to the editor as a “jerk.” But still, I think this guy did a hell of a job. And I do not see why you don’t.

Anyone who uses the phrase “complete jerks” has to be – in my considered opinion – a complete jerk. If you have a problem with this Academy Award Winner then please, attack him on the merits, which I do not see you doing.
