Talk:F. Gwynplaine MacIntyre/Comments
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I came across this entry by accident (I was looking at Bernard Wolfe's, and followed a link), and am struck by its great length (relative to the author's prominence) and solemn tone. I also noticed a claim -- that the subject had once been interviewed by the New York Times -- that seemed so implausible that I took a moment to check it. Biographical information on MacIntyre did indeed appear in the NYT, but not in an interview -- he wrote them a letter.
I have no particular problem with verbose self-hagiography -- hey, if someone does want information on MacIntyre, they will not find this much anywhere else -- and am not about to change even the false claim about having been interviewed by the NY Times. But Jeez, this is pretty shameless.
