Journalistic snobbery, eh? Only someone who is a paid, published writer could possibly have the extensive training and acuity necessary to detect the subtleties of the Coulterian style. Get over yourself. Paid hacks are a dime a dozen.
Since you scoff at my supposed lack of qualifications, and ask on what basis I dare to make a judgment about someone else's writing, let me present my curriculum vitae. I attended one of the top two or three small liberal arts colleges in the country. I graduated with a major in British literature and a minor in mathematics. I undertook graduate coursework in philosophy and theology before being accepted to the University of Chicago's Ph.D. program in English literature (generally regarded as one of the top five programs in the country). I declined admission in favor of pursuing a career as a greedy capitalist entrepreneur. I have in fact been published in a few different journals, and have been a free-lance contributor to the local fishwrap.
Have I met your lofty standard to be worthy of having an opinion? I await your judgment with bated breath. (More sarcasm, in case you didn't get it).
Doctorate of education? Don't even get me started. Funny, you didn't strike me as the type to need Daddy's assurance that you were right.
Oh yeah, I am really impressed with someone who hyphenates "freelance." LOL! Your curriculum vitae and list of credentials is washed out by your obvious lack of knowledge. You have displayed your writing ineptitude all over this thread. So you had papers published in conjunction with your education. Everybody does. They are usually all edited to death and corrected before publication, which I am sure happened in your case as well. I know that I would edit the snot out of your writing, personally.
"Journalistic snobbery?" No. Would you prefer that I ignore my expertise in this area? Would you prefer that I pretended that I am not an established professional? Sorry -- won't do it. If you think that's snobbery, that's your right. I think you're pitiful, if that's the only way you can respond to it.
You have a running pattern of pointing to certain aspects of your life to try to prove a point in this thread. It does not impress. Like I said, your writing speaks for itself. So does your ignorance. I could sit here all day and keep up the verbal volleys, but I have better things to do. If you actually had any credibility, it might be different. However, you have none.
One more thing, sweetie -- I have had my work published in several books. Not journals. Not just newspapers. Books. (Yes, those are sentence fragments. Artistic license. I know I'm using them, and I am doing so deliberately.) I am working on a book right now, too -- and it already has a publisher that I'm working with, so don't even go there!
Considering the combination of all these elements, plus the ones I will not get into here, I would say that yes -- I am more qualified to make a proper observation than you are. If that hurts your l'il feelings, I'm sorry for you.
