Carol Panaro-Smith and James Hajicek's Arc of Departure

Hi Claire, still ducking the critics, I see.

Why have you not answered the question asked by a reader about your # 95 pick: Allison Elliott's Walls of Downtown Phoenix?

Since I've already won ten bucks betting against your ability to handle/answer criticism, I'm really hoping you keep hiding under Amy Silverman's skirt.

What can I say?

You've been buying me lunch- and I could get used to this, so please stay the path of cowardice, if not for me, then do it for Subway.

When you were accused of fabrication in regards to one of your articles by two of NT's readers,  and then gave breezy non answers as a response, it was truly classic, even by NT standards.

Or how about when you trashed those innocent Comicon participants, and you didn't respond to their complaints, proving (yet again) that you have absolutely no idea what a true journalist is supposed to be or do.

Peeps say you're a "nice" person, but I notice they've NEVER defended you as a journalist..hmm, I wonder why.

So... I ask yet again: why are you seemingly incapable of answering criticism from your readership base?

In my case, I DO know why you won't respond, and that's fine by me, since I've written you off as spineless- but that doesn't explain why you fear all those other readers.

So, what excuse are you going to keep hiding behind?

Do you think their criticism is invalid? (Not likely- you're a terrible journalist)

Are you too busy "writing": some other god-awful hyper-linked article to be able to respond?(Most likely)

Are you a coward? (That's where my money continues to ride.)

We're all waiting to find out why, but I think the answer is becoming obvious, don't you? (Ask Amy if you're not sure why. She knows.)

So..

waiting for you to grow a spine,Wayne Michael Reich
