I saw the article, and while the quote was a little extreme (blatant pun intended) the article was okay. Honestly, it was a bit redundant... there's no one reading his article that's not well aware that there was a bit of contraversey revolving around the decision to start brunell. It was just mid-week filler, when there's nothing to report on, so he thought he'd stir things up with a radical point of view. I honestly wouldn't have responded to it, (if I were you OM) because in doing so, you're justifying something you shouldn't.

Dont get me wrong, if you felt compelled to reply, then you did it with tact, and it was well written, which is more than I can say for the writings of some of your staff, but somtimes it's better to turn a blind's eye, and take the publicity any way it comes.

Whatever numbskull posted that is more than entitled to his opinion and thats why there are message boards... So that morons like you and me can voice our opinions and views without having a degree in journalism and a job with the post.

The article about the Giants-Skins history that was in the post yesterday was much better reading material, anyway.
