WTF!!).<br /><br />I humbly suggest, maybe you're letting a personal friendship cloud what should be a dispassionate judgment, here? You can disagree with the See article argument (as I did, anonymously, on their comment page), but at least it is intelligible, in a "which is better, a compact car or an SUV, straightforward apples v. oranges kind of way. The Fung bit, in comparison, is written in clumsy English, with confused ideas and false premises.MChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15857244982647301313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3677565377773025587.post-7371689243974485442010-05-14T19:06:44.128-04:002010-05-14T19:06:44.128-04:00I'll have to respectfully disagree - I think E...I'll have to respectfully disagree - I think Edmonton has some great arts writers, and I would count Amy Fung among them. As for poorly researched crap like the above, it should have stopped at the editor's desk. Silly me, assuming that See has any standards at all.Kirsten McCreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14526543259274397575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3677565377773025587.post-69442867050388006772010-05-14T17:28:15.487-04:002010-05-14T17:28:15.487-04:00But, then again, there aren't really any art w...But, then again, there aren't really any art writers in Edmonton (at least not at the newspapers) who have any idea what they're talking about.<br />Seriously, Kristen, <a href="http://www.vueweekly.com/article.php?id=15001" rel="nofollow">THIS</a> has got to be MUCH worse art writing in Edmonton! This might, in fact, be the worst art writing the planet has ever known.MChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15857244982647301313noreply@blogger.com
