Dope on the Slope posts a comment defending  Callalillie on her blog.

As a blogger, I consciously put myself and my words out there and part of that is the risk of being taken out of context. If she had interviewed me, it would be a different story. – Callalillie

I think that’s true, but it takes a lot of class not to take a swipe at the author of that article, which is a sloppy bit of fluff about the future of Red Hook, a subject which I think deserves more serious attention.

I also think it’s trashy for paid journalists to lazily skim the blogosphere for material, and then heap thinly veiled condescension on those same bloggers later. Trashy, but entirely expected. After all, as you point out, we are fair game.

Keep up the good work. You are the best ambivalent embarrassed post-yuppie in the blogosphere.
