Well, the editor of the website for which I'm writing some commentaries has taken the role of critic and redirected my efforts. My first column, and I knew it did, needs some work. But it's good for a critic to be criticized, especially since I wrote for years and years and my magazine editors never advised me much. I got away with murder in my journalism classes, being published before college encourages ones professors to just pass you right through. Not that I was a horrible student or anything, I just didn't really try that hard. Or maybe I was a genius. [Natch.] Let's go with that. Perhaps I need to embrace my arrogance and judgmental attitude. All the things I think, I've been reluctant to put down in print. I don't want people to think me some horrible, elitist, opinionated snob. But I suppose a critic can't really ride the fence. So here I am, opinionated snob, where everyone can see it -- in black and white.
