If the shoe doesn’t fit, what’s your gripe?

7/29/2020

​In his letter to the editor in the August-September 2020 issue of Free Inquiry, one Sheldon F. Gottlieb, PhD, accuses me, along with three other columnists, of unfairly criticizing Trump.

Funny thing, that. Nowhere does “How We Vote,” my alleged offending column, name “Trump.” 

Perhaps Gottlieb was referencing this:
… dangerously incompetent, petulant, uninformed, xenophobic, despotic, anti-human-rights, Dunning-Kruger-Effect-personifying buffoon of a candidate whom only morally bankrupt or utterly misinformed voters would support …
If so, he seems to have overlooked the rest of the sentence:
… please know that I’m speaking hypothetically and that no such person really exists.
This is not the first time readers have accused me of criticizing while not naming ​their hero, at the same time insisting that said criticism in no way applies to said hero.

I am left to wonder why Gottlieb assumed the shoe I described belongs to Trump if, as he seems to allege, the shoe doesn’t fit.

Unless, of course, deep down he thinks it does.

I have high regard for Benson, Drury, Menendez, and the late Doerr. I’m rather flattered that Gottlieb included me with them in his complaint.

My July 4 musings, published three days ago in The Salt Lake Tribune, may be a sure way for me to lose friends, second only to letting them get to know me. You can read the article by clicking here or on the image below.

    Welcome to Cunoblog

    ... where I share thoughts about writing. ​I don’t consider myself a writing authority, but that doesn’t keep me from presuming to blog like one. Oh, and I reserve the right to digress when I feel like it.
