I take a slightly different tact towards these columns than Om does, in that I attempt to judge the issue most discussed among the fans and form an opinion based on that to put forth in a column. Given the highly divided nature of recent discussions it is likely either side one lands on that would have a problem with writing that takes the other.
Such is the nature of having an opinion. Indeed, I was very hard on those on one side of the most recent LaVar debate due to the inane, ludicrous, fictional nature of the position most put forth. But, that was merely the content because it was all there was.
The article on the Ramsey/Brunell situation was similar where I felt shame in fellow fans for their ignorant, baseless revolt on Gibbs happening throughout the Brunell/Ramsey debate. Likely, if one's inclined to feel that way on an issue, it's not likely the column associated with it will be designed to bring folks together, but, rather, to jolt the sensibilities of those unwilling to let simple facts enter the equation.
I can say that for those on the LaVar side, given the content outlined attributed to them, and for those on the Ramsey side earlier, if they were bothered, intimidated or insulted, good. That's just how those of us on the other side felt about them
