(Now I would never expect Bernard to respond to this, or acknowledge that he even visits this site, but some of these comments have made me mighty suspicious that he's a visitor)
And so...............
Bernard,
The whole point was that you've tried to create controversy where none exists. You may well have drawn attention to the media access issue in a manner which got to the heart of the problem without involving excess collateral damage as it were.
The fact that you chose not to take this path, and on the eve of coach Linehan's inaugural season, and instead set the issue of media access within a soap opera of your own making is the reason why many have taken umbrage with you.
This is also a method that you've used in the past and so I for one have never been particularly appreciative of your journalism, which to me often contains a little too much "I" in it.
The story is not you Bernard, so please desist from these attempts to make it so. You may well find that if you did that people wouldn't have quite as much ammuntion with which to take aim at you. Swords, live by them and die by them, pick your poison.
Yee ha! (Is that what yahoo's say? I'm sure I have no idea)
Oh incidentally, I'd be quite happy to have a debate with you on any subject you might choose.
Regards,
Fat Pang (And I assure you Bernard there is no criticism intended in that signature)
