Silly Contentious Crap

I think we need an ongoing Enemies List. All the organizations with Politburos have them!

First we need a definition or series of qualifications. First, the individual must, through their actions, either increase the level of ignorance about wine in the world or help the production and dissemination of bad wine.

I need help with the defining statement. What say you?

However, for the first people for the list, I propose three people we have recently talked about:

Diane Teitelbaum
Michael Bauer
Lettie Teague

The concepts of "enemies," "ignorance" and "bad wine;" all in one thought.
Meant in jest, no doubt - but a game I will not play.

Maybe the Hosemaster spoofed ScottReiner's profile.

I can't get excited enough about those people to elevate them to "enemies." Yawn.

Also, I doubt there is a uniform view on the board of who the true "enemies" are.

I prefer not to let mine see it coming.

Agree.

And these boards already have enough of a tendency towards high-school level pettiness. Need we reinforce the slide!
 
Whatever you think about Lettie Teague, how is she possibly a downgrade from the duo that rated wines on a scale of "Good" to "DELICIOUS!"?
