Bourrie's latest, about the continuing decline of CanWest, reminded me of something:
Statement
"I recently published a column where I mentioned the name of a local Ottawa reader who, being concerned with the contents of certain of my past columns, filed, as is her right, complaints with the Ontario Press Council (OPC). Although I do not agree with her allegations as set out in her complaints, she has expressed that her allegations are founded and she was acting in good faith. I used words to describe her complaint which may have been misconstrued to be a personal slight against her. I did not intend to offend her personally and regret if I did so."
David Warren
Naming someone who launched an OPC complaint against you? That smacks of intimidation. Here's the column with the name pulled, from Warren's website.
I can't believe how whiny these old men are.
ReplyDeleteI could have written that same column and persuaded people. What Warren's doing is antangonising even more people.
To the knacker's yard with this dessicated old ruin already.
