Michael Landrum Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 "After you get to know me better, I come out of my shell." Ha ha! Like the thing that pops out of your dog and you wish would go away is more like it! "Oh, don't mind him, he's just being friendly!" (And you thought the Brett Favre thing was inappropriate...) Insert pithy youtube link: here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pltrgyst Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I'm still trying to locate the wit in the quote that Zora Margolis is quoted describing as "viciously witty." Vicious, yes; witty, no. I though that Rockwell quote pointlessly nasty (rather than acerbic) at a junior high school level. It certainly didn't reflect well on either Rockwell or this site, and contributed to the overall negative impression imparted by the article..

I did not get a negative impression from the article, it actually added to the respect for this community and Don that I already had formed.

If you read the whole Sushi Kappo Kawasoki stinging review, you'd know why I agree! I had to read it several times to wrap my head around it. Then I wanted to poke out my mind's eye. Still do.

I had to read it several times to wrap my head around it. Then I wanted to poke out my mind's eye. Still do. I agree. Without reading the whole thing, a lot of the context is lost. When my husband saw that quote, he was wondering what was so acerbic and brilliant about it. I told him he'd understand if he read the larger piece, so he took my word for it .

I think frustration is intertwined with those pointed comments, and deservedly so. Regardless, the forum is pretty damn good especially for a free service! Rockwell does an excellent job in maintaining an environment where people can discuss food and restaurants with minimum moderation. Just like the restaurants, smaller grocery stores, butcher shops, or farms that are discussed here that are not chain places, you can have a genuine interaction with other people who also love food and talking about it. And any online place that leads my GF to ask when I'm taking her to a new place, what did those online people say was good here, and when is Dean Gold going to open a Chinese/Korean Pork Restaurant, ain't too shabby.

The two lines she quoted out of context were the only part of the post that weren't too scatalogical to print. I didn't think she would be able to use any of it--she asked me for an example of what I meant by saying that about Don, and it was the first one that came to mind. I asked that it be off the record, but that was ignored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it any time I am back in Wisconsin. My father was overjoyed to find that the beer of his youth had returned, now if it would only return to the east coast.
