    And Shottie, to let you off the hook on Royko, I could have just started typing any of 100 names and then said, "and the didn't just sit around the office looking busy" and the same thought would apply.

    now those who don't agree with your morals (of employment) are trolls.

    that's fairly ridiculous there george, jr., jr.

    Well, I'd respond, but you're surely at work, so I wouldn't want to be a party to any fundamental inconsistency in your argument.

    I gotta believe, if rockbottom had said that Solitaire Man was a blogger for an internet fan site, this thread would have become a firestorm of rage against lazy unprofessionals in the sacred pressbox.

    Firestorm of Rage would be a good name for a band.

    Christ, Shottie, I missed the part where you referred to people in the same camp as I as a "troll." Wow.

    Also, that reference to your sports editor -- I'm assuming you're talking about a desk shift, not sitting at a football game. A bit different, isn't it?

    hey fuck you shot and your troll bullshit. you're the one imposing your fractured morals on people, coming off as the scruples nazi and reinforcing that point by posting every three minutes to make sure the conversation is overburdened by your point of view.

    to be honest, i've never understood how you guys find the time to post on this board while at work and believe it's unprofessional as hell, but i've chose not to say anything until this thread surfaced. obviously, you have no issues wasting your department's time and and money surfing the net while on the clock.

    also, a person simply playing solitaire between plays is way more "into the game" than your boy rock bottom, who openly says he has four sites open while "doing his job."

    you're both hypocrites who speak out of both sides of your mouths.
