Seems to be a lot of something in this post. You don't give and old fart that yet you've not acknowledged my point about a lot of test editors being in her age bracket. Hell some of BMW's biggest cheerleaders at some of these magazines are her age! Yeah calling it pathetic was a knee-jerk reaction in the purest sense. True you're entitled to your opinion, but the rancid way you've gone on and on about age and more interestingly their looks having something to do with her ability as an automotive writer is off the charts as far as I'm concerned. NO, I think she's as homely as they come, but I couldn't care any less when reading a review what editor looks like. Hell do we really want to go there with some of the really old and hideous looking editors at some of the British and American magazines? It is matterless what she looks like. Yeah her age could have dictated different priorities for her, but there some older than her (like 70) that get what BMWs are about and worship them so this about age is just bunk. Bottom line is that you didn't like the review, understandable but this about her looks and age was just really beyond ridiculous.

Where did i say anything about her looks, except posting a pic of her? You care about her looks more than i do, obviously.

You still don't get it, do you? Go on, write another 15 pages if you'd like, couldn't care less, you won't change my opinion anyways and if you don't like it, find it ridiculous or whatever, sorry, that's your problem.

Regards!

Yeah sure you didn't. Right. The part about me thinking that your opinion was "low" or "lame" was attached to a picture of her so if that wasn't a comment about her looks, I don't what else it could have been.

Yep I get it, she is too old to be able to write a review and when you saw her ugly mug that put the final nail in her coffin.

Problem? Nope, just find your stance on age and looks concerning and affecting automotive writing skills to be repugnant.

Oh and since you won't address the fact that some of these older guys that love BMWs are likely older than her I have to believe that it was her looks and her age combined that disqualifies her since there are editors at BMW fanbases like Car and Driver and certain British mags that are at least her age.

M

Just like i find your defense on her ridiculous.

Cool, are we done now, please, can we move on?

Thanks in advance!

You missed the point. I have at no point defended her, I only voiced my astonishment about her age and looks instantly disqualifying her in your mind as an auto writer. Hell I think she is as ugly as all getout! Never defended her, only took exception her not being qualiefied IYO because of her age and looks.
