What I think is rude is the continuing harangue about a book that you have not read and compared to an unsigned article.
What I think is rude is purposely trolling a thread and refusing to discuss the *actual topic* of the thread in question. It's also potentially rude to imply with no evidence that CBS is fabricating stories or quotes.
I'd say this thread should just be locked, but I think that's what the purpose of trolling this thread is. Is there another solution?
I don't know how many here saw the video yesterday that has since - thankfully - been removed. What I read in the article appears to be a transcript of the interview, verbatim, so I don't think attributing authorship is necessary. It's a transcript. CBS has published it. I heard the quote indicated in this written link and it was in Mike's voice with his usual semi-tearful comments as he launches an attack.
I'd love to think we can move on from the trolling, but I seriously doubt it.
Then show some respect for those of us who saw it and recognize the script - offered by CBS - is a transcript. It's a blatant discrepancy.
That is not disrespect. That, disrespect (and baiting) was directed towards me. I took the time to read the book, share some of the insights that I found significant in BB history (such as the last tour that Carl did) and got pounced on.
