And no, I don’t mean for those who would like to learn the subtle art of editing, but editing for those who have ridiculous opinions. I had another whammy today that made me laugh until my eyes watered. We recently profiled an up and coming artist who is blending his cultural background into his carving – really neat work. But we received a reprimand from a reader who chastized us for not digging further into the artist’s background and discovering that this person is allegedly an ex-con. How could we profile such a person, the letter states. Obviously, having a criminal background negates a person from being an artist? I have to resist from responding to these people and asking them if being a conservative prick makes them unable to write? Boils down to the same thing in my mind. Freedom of speech, I suppose. It goes both ways.
