No one, whether aspiring writer or casual blogger, appreciates criticism of the sort that you and dirka have offered. And a poster who contributes as much to this site as BG hardly deserves it.

Well, thank goodness we have hypocritical posters who are willing to call someone they've never met an a-hole in the name of avoiding "lazy and nonconstructive vitriol."
The article talks about the SF position, and refers to Marion as being out of the mix. That is very deceptive. If it had referenced the STARTING SF first, there wouldn't be an issue, but it does not. That is a serious flaw in the way it is written. Now, all the noise about that not being necessary because Mavs fans already know this? Fine, if you aspire to be nothing more than a poster on d-m.com, clearly basic grammar isn't a requirement; however, if you aspire to perhaps get paid to write about sports, or at least to have another outlet pick up your stories, you should put a bit more time into proofreading and editing.
