I probably should be impressed with his accomplishment but after being Senior ed at Off-road.com for several years when our monthly readership was in the 7 figure range globally, Thurston just doesn’t make me wanna go all fanboi for him. Being the #2 motorsports site behind only NASCAR might have something to do with that though.

Probably because he demands respect he hasn’t come close to earning with his crap here. His problem is opening his mouth without ever thinking the person he’s calling an idiot has accomplishments that are as much, or greater than his own.

But hey, if he wants to stick it out there, I’ll be glad to pull out the tape measure ;)

I love Alan Rickman, the actor -- his sneering characters can be very entertaining, so supremely contemptuous of the "imbeciles" and inferiors they have to deal with -- like in Quigley Down Under, Galaxy Quest, Die Hard, or Robin Hood, when he snarls, "You twit!" The way he conveys his disdain for pretty much all of his fellow man is fabulous!

But CEW ain't Alan Rickman. CEW is just a plain, ordinary, ill bred lop.

CEW's problem is that he has atrociously bad manners. If his mother were here, I like to think she'd grab him by the ear, escort him to his room, and make him stay there and "think about it" until dinner. It's not CEW's opinions (many of which I agree with, by the way) that make me inclined to skip his posts -- it's his arrogant, rude, contemptuous way of expressing them.

The guy has zero class.
