I don't have an invite to Columbia yet. I MIGHT get one.

And I already did invite Lovelady to join in here. He said he would skip that because he already knew what "my cheerleaders on FreeRepublic would say." He has no clue about how hot and detailed the disagreements here can become, nor did he care to find out. A lack of curiosity is a poor trait for anyone in journalism.

Shows what he knows. I would give him far more deferance than the average FR newbie. Because I would know in advance that he was already at a disadvantage, given that he was used to telling people what to think, not proving that he has a good thought.

He has no clue about how hot and detailed the disagreements here can become, nor did he care to find out. A lack of curiosity is a poor trait for anyone in journalism.

Basically, it comes down to the fact that he can't handle the truth. And so he must label anyone speaking such as a heretic.

Keep us posted as to whether he has the guts to invite you to his new media symposium. It will give at least a preliminary indication as to whether he is serious about trying to understand the new media.
