What were we talking about?

The original piece was carefully crafted to get a rise out of Bills fans — and then they hand-selected the worst of the worst reactions to keep things going. It was all very artfully done, but at it’s core, completely fake and phony.

Having said that, allow me to share a a limerick left in the comments on my blog post by someone who identifies herself as Poetess:

There once was a woman named Gish;
Reporting the sports was her wish.
She ran down the Bills
Now she’s up to her gills
With comments that stink like a fish.

It’s interesting is that the Times Union has yet to publish a single reaction to that piece that was civil and thought out, particularly McKim’s letter to Gish and the editors over there since he was a subject in the article (and felt particularly wronged). This became glaring when Gish’s column published the lewd and crass comments yesterday, over a week later, with still no sign of publication for McKim in sight. Any questions posed yesterday on twitter as to why a “well mannered” response hasn’t been published were only met with dismissive, and some rude, comments from people at the TU.
