You know something? A story of Delauter's sparked an entire thread over here some months ago. And some folks felt the style was a bit "tabloid."

The responses from her BCT colleagues were more vitriolic and vicious than anything I've seen here from any of the "Trib Kiddies." The person mentioning they weren't crazy about Delauter's writing did NOT gloat over her layoff at all. But a few "hotheads" up in the Valley chose to think otherwise.

This tells me that layoffs or not, the BCT has its own sort of arrogance wrapped in what its proponents consider some sort of "pride." In other words, dare criticize our paper, dare disagree with a writer's approach and we'll not defend, we'll attack you for having an opinion.

I'd say the mindset is both defensive and paranoid. More's the pity. I hate to see anyone lose their job, but I'd suggest some of Lori's defenders grow up. Fire away, gang.
