By the way, both of your comments, this one and the one right above this one made it to me. :smile:

The old adage – ‘No publicity is bad publicity’ would seem to apply. F the Hack’s opinion – people who come and see will like it or they won’t.

I’ll bet HFW’s traffic increased, and there are people still here that came in through that door.

Way to Go Karl!

Did they ever publish this?

That lady is called a journalist? Give me a break. Marina can write circles around that person. Normally, I would not have commented, but in this case, I had to call it like I see it. If my comment does not get published, here is what I said;

Dear Virginia,
Was I supposed to take your diatribe seriously, or are you practicing your writing to become a stand-up in a vaudeville act? Your writing is atrocious and your choice of words (sexicon, porn, Hooters, vaudeville) says something about your inadequacies and says nothing about Marina’s.

You lost all credibility when you said, “Usually, after a certain degree of fluency, people who speak English as a second language let that stuff drop”. Sorry to disappoint you, but my experience says exactly the opposite.

You should exit your cave more often so as not to mistake appearance for reality. Plato would be proud of you.

Marina is the hippest, most well connected, intelligent, resourceful and caring person I have never met. Those qualities come through loud and clear through her writings and videos. It is these endearing qualities that give rise to her popularity.

Marina has the courage to let her comments to her videos “fly” unmoderated, unedited and uncensored. We’ll see what courage you have with this comment.

Another immigrant who cares about the American language and it’s origins, and who cares how I pronounce words, which makes me truly yours, Pedantic Karl.
