Angry Formerly Dude SPEAKS

And y'all better listen up, because he's PISSED!  I posted his comment in its entirety here, but I couldn't resist giving BB a bit more prominent a spot. One or two of you must have gone on a date with him back in the early '90s and totally broken his heart, because he's still smarting. He reserves special vitriol for Oprah–perhaps she's the one who didn't call him back or suggested they "just be friends."

I'm torn…

…between not dignifying certain posts with a response, and showing up at the authors' doors, chaining them to their radiators and having Kristin Chenoweth read aloud to them in her squeaky little voice until they swear that next time they'll at least READ THE BOOK THEY'RE CRITIQUING before they critique it.
