(135,425 posts)And you are being terribly defensive, lashing out at "certain people" and accusing them -- without evidence--of collusion, via PM, no less, just because they don't agree with you.
I think the reason people have "a problem with Taibbi" has to do with his quirky and drug addled behavior during and after his time at the eXile, his failure to check his facts on more than one occasion, his dramatic and childish stunts which included throwing a pie full of horse semen at one of his perceived "enemies," and his continued adolescent and attention seeking behavior.
This isn't a "young punk" anymore--he's a man, in his mid-forties, with the mindset and conduct of a querulous teenager. It's not "Gonzo"--it's "Stupid." Yet--since we're gonna go there--"certain people" follow this unreliable heroin addict like he's the Hipster Messiah.
Pro Tip: He's not.
