Um, no.....he's more like the Hunter Thompson of food.
He'd call Rachel a few well deserved names, he doesnt suffer any kind of fool gladly.
Try reading some of his blog, or a book or two of his.

He's exactly what I would term a gonzo food journalist.
Pulls no punches, even with the sacred white elephants of the food world.
I like that.

I think Hunter Thompson was not as self-conscious. He didn't talk about himself so damn much.

3rd person doesnt really work with food, unless its fiction.

I'm sorry my lack of response made you feel any particular way, but the fact is that not all posts are compelling enough for me to reply.
Um, yeah......right.
None of my responses even came close to what you are claiming they are.

I said he talks about himself too much, which is an opinion, not a fact to be disputed. You responded that his writing was biographical, as if that cleared up the issue.
However, I wasn't talking about his writing, so your answer was not addressing my original comment. Furthermore, you took my statement too literally, and out of context. "Talking about himself" was in the context of his self-consciousness, his need to be sophisticated and feel like a big shot by constantly defining "what sort of person he is." He speaks as if he's trying to convince himself of his own greatness. The fact that he writes biographically, and must talk about himself in some sense, does not "make it okay" that he talks about himself in a way that I find embarassing to watch.
But you know, if it is important for your well being to feel like you "won" the argument, then by all means, have that pleasure.
I said he talks about himself too much. You said his writing was biographical. I wasn't talking about his writing, so your answer was meaningless to me.
Why does this matter to you, anyway?
I see you changed your post, you claimed that I left out your last comment, which I didnt, and I see you are completely missing the point of the other thread, as well as this one.
What is my point?
You cant admit you are wrong, thats my point.
Also, you havent even read his books, so who would be so incredibly arrogant as to muster an opinion on something they are ignorant of?
One has to read his writings in order to have an opinion, and that leads me to suspect your opinions on feminism are equally based on ignorance.
Plus, you dont seem to like women calling you out, do you?

Say you're right.
What is it to you? You stalking me?

I already said it was the TV show that I watch, and I've read his blog. You're the one trying to move the goalposts by talking about his books.

Brilliant logic: Because I haven't read anthony bourdains books, therefore I cannot have an opinion on his behavior, which means that I know nothing about feminism.

Shoddy reading comprehension, and the strawmen arguments that come from it, is my pet peeve. This goes beyond gender.
Besides, do you see me treating men with "kid gloves" on other threads? Of course not. I'm an equal opportunity jerk to everyone.
And for the record, my least favorite people on city-data tend to be liberal, urban, feminine, feminist males.
Nice deflective comment, the above quoted is the only true thing you have said.
BTW, you are really stretching and flattering yourself if you believe I am stalking you, I could say the same thing of you.
At the end of the day, or after 32 pages, and after reading the depth of loathing revealed in the offerings of the "feminists" here, could anyone re-read the thread title and have the remotest doubt?
The case could not possibly have been made more clearly.

Aw, you don't have to be shy. I can see that you were following me from thread to thread. It is ok; you aren't the first to develop an online crush on me.

As I said, dont flatter yourself.
I dont bang Neanderthals.
