Hard to get through that all. Clicked out about half way through. Kept waiting for the point, which won’t come until September 12th.
Well stated and sadly indicative of todays culture on all sides of the spectrum. If you don't agree with me completely, you are the enemy. We don't appreciate diversity of OPINIONS. And FACTS are either portrayed in a skewed fashion to support an agenda or ignored. As a society, we are DEVOLVING.The problem I have with this entire frame of reference is that this author conflates 'having an opinion' with 'lying to us'. In essence... denying these men the freedom to think for themselves. Saying that they are 'lying' is cancel culture in action. It demonizes writers with a different opinion...
It's shoddy thinking and a stunningly childish and amateur way to frame this discussion. I'm embarrassed for him.
I certainly agree in the case of professional writers. Sometimes I am baffled by writers (and editors who allow it) that can't even be bothered to run a basic spell/punctuation check in a word processor.Although no one cares, I believe if someone has a career/hobby using words, they should be good at it. I expect good grammar from a newspaper editor, not so much from an auto mechanic.
As others have said, the OP's use of 'lying' hurt the cause. Miami is like an addict having gone through treatment multiple times. Until success is proven, the default is 'we'll see.' This time Miami's emergence looks real, but I get the skepticism.

I just thought the comparisons were interesting. I didnt know alot of that.The problem I have in addition to Feverdreams astute observations, is that the quality of the article (such as it was) was also diminished by it's grating 'had went's and erroneous 'whom's demonstrating the author's utter ignorance of proper English grammar.
