You desperately want the last word? Have at it. My gift to you - and Merry Christmas!
No, I would love it if you had the last word, saying that you finally had stopped for a minute and considered the point I was making. The complaint you made should be directed at the OFFICIALS, not the REPORTER. I
think this reporter did what so few do...report the occurrence without a spin. That's rare and should be applauded, not attacked.
Merry Christmas to you, too!
