In reply to the discussion: Nance Greggs: A WORD, If I May? [View all]tavalon
(27,985 posts)It's fledgling compared to here but you get regular Nance Rants. She and I do not share all of the same exact views but her writing is so beautiful and evocative that I rarely miss what she has to say. It just occurred to me that I should start crossposting her over here. Others do but I never think of it.
She's as good as she ever was but there was a coordinated attack against her here (happened to Will Pitt, too, but man, he just keeps coming back). The attack was unfair but I do wish she had chosen to let it flow over her. But, that being said, at least she came back to her writing. I'll have to admit I don't remember (did I know?) what her day job is, but she is an inordinately talented writer, says the hack who uses to many superfluous words.
You know, it's funny, I like the Rude Pundit too, but for entirely different reasons. He's not a great writer, but after one of his rants, I just feel as mad as he does. But it's weird to me that he became so famous and as of now, Nance isn't. Nor, Will Pitt, well not as famous as he should be.
There's time.
