The "Fella" as taught journalism at George Washington University, C.W. Post College of Long Island University, and now teaches basic news writing and science feature writing at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The "Fella" also writes a column for Boston Magazine, has written 10 books, and has contributed over the years to a number of national magazines. >> I wasn't going to comment again but since I seemed to have unintentionally ruffled feathers . . . Take it easy "fella." I meant no offense -- just trying to keep things light and informal. I certainly wasn't questioning your bona fides or your statements. I just happen to disagree with you. That, in my mind, is no reason to get nasty so you'll just have to take my word for it that was not what I was trying to do.. We don't have to agree. You are convinced of your position. That's clear. FWIW, I probably would have argued your side a few years ago but I've tried it the other way and not only have seen the benefits of it but also realized it's not the Pandora's box you and others make it out to be.
