Subject: I've not commented on DeCandido's article before, but his attack on Fordham alumni is so clueless and childish that I will simply offer this constructive criticism/advice to him. First, before you attempt to write humor again, read as many Tom Shales and Dave Barry columns as you can. Second, understand that by your attack on Forham alumni in general, you're slamming doors that could be of help to your future career. Third, learn from your mistakes and try not to repeat them.
In reply to: Belmont Juice 's message, "Check it out -- it's great that our boy Tommy apologizes to the Bona fans (as he should), but he also takes the opportuntiy to characterize Fordham alumni as "classless and cruel." I am totally not into student bashing, but you really, truly, can't make this stuff up. Forget watching "Survivor" tonight -- this reality website fodder is much better entertainment !" on Wed March 16, 2005 21:42:21

  • ELIZABETH,NJ. DON"t use my hometown to try to bail yourslf out .Being from a suburb of Elizabeth is not being from Elizabeth.I grew up inELIZABETH ,ISTILL live inELIZABETH .DON'T TRY to embrace ELIZABETH now when you probably loked down your nose at it your whole life.IF your from CRANFOD or WESTFIELD admit it (NT) -- BIG SUR, Thu March 17, 2005 10:01:48
  • Big Sur, thought the same thing when I read "a suburb of Elizabeth." Westfield and Cranford ain't that far removed demographically from Farifield County, so the hope is that Mr. Sports Editor isn't dissembling even more by invoking Elizabeth in his apologies. By the way, those of us from Cranford and Westfield don't look down our noses at Elizabeth. Though I did growing up in Jersey City. (NT) -- 70sRam, Thu March 17, 2005 11:26:06
  • This guy is such lame. I don't give him credit for a half hearted apology. He deserved the personal attacks for one reason. The article wasnt funny. It was really shite and he should have realized it and scrapped it. If you can't write that style don't try. He could have done a simple diary approach with a couple of zingers. I wanted to scratch my eyes out as I read that garbage. (NT) -- joe b, Thu March 17, 2005 13:03:20
