Monica Guzman Wants To Know

1. Wow, it is really difficult to read the gay marriage debaters. reminds me of what we are up against.

2. Do you hate Monica Guzman because she’s like the youngest, least powerful journalist in Seattle? They wouldn’t even let her in the Guild, right? And she’s female.

   Is that why? Or what? Why do you hate her?

3. Where’s the hate here, elenchos? I’m pretty sure MG is digging the attention.

4. I’m in the italics.

5. Well, I detect a hint of contempt. And disdain. And smug superiority. Perhaps nobody but me sees it.

   That, plus this is not the first, nor the second, nor the third time that ECB has soared high above everything blogged and printed in this town and then swooped down to eviscerate one of Guzman’s blog posts found three clicks in from the front page of the PI’s web site. Erica’s usual complaint seems to stem from her critical evaluation of Monica’s intelligence, and gravitas.

6. I wonder what blogging for the PI pays. Is it per post? Word count? Salary? Is it a backdoor to the print edition?

7. She added me on Facebook today. After two messages, I removed her. I feel good.

8. no, you’re not the only one who sees it elenchos, but hey! this thing is like that thing, isn’t it?

9. Josh, that IS a good poem. I don’t blog them if I don’t think they’re good.

10. She’s friends with Will in Seattle…

11. “What can we all agree on?” That ECB hates female journalists – and believe you me, we hate her stink, too.

12. facebook is a virus.

13. She’s one of the first five members of the Slog Facebook group, that must count for something.

14. ECB is bitter that Monica got the job she wanted. It’s pretty sad. Could you be a little less petty, Erica?

15. Monica is a nice person in real life and she’s disparately seeking to emulate you Erica. No joke.

    You should feel ashamed.

16. Can we please address the question of the King County Fair? I hate to say it, but it needs to go.

17. Erica! Geez!

18. Topic for your next therapy session: Why do you need to humiliate other journalists to prove your worth as a writer?

19. Erica, I’m totally with you here. You can win me over by writing more of these.

20. God, Erica, you’re starting to turn into that obsessive loser Dylan over at Metblogs.

21. Don’t really get the hate/sarcasm/smugness here. She’s a nice person just doing her job. What’s the issue?

22. o.k., point taken w/r/t the quality of the bjc found poems.

    I’ll also join in the chorus of those saying that Monica is an incredibly nice person who takes her job seriously and is sincerely interested in engaging readers even if it means asking a lot of questions in her posts.

23. I don’t get it, is this because each link takes you to some hypothetical question posed by Guzman? Isn’t, like, every Mudede post ever some trite and insular hypothetical question?

24. @ levide: that was hilarious.

    I’m not going into this ECB versus MG crap, but I do have to say that the Big Blog now has a “Today in PR” segment.

    It’s like Monica doesn’t even try anymore.

25. She’s so dumb it’s fun to be nasty.

26. Suddenly, the P-I wonders why Monica’s blog traffic sees a huge spike today.

27. @2 for the win.

    At least she gets hits, unlike the Times.

28. and @10, you should have posted as Mr Poe …

29. The King County Fair should stay open but expect smaller crowds. Just because there are no farms on Capital Hill or Fremont doesn’t mean there aren’t farms in King County and Kids in the 4H and FFA. Seattle has Bumbershoot. Let South King County and the Eastside farmers have the fair.

30. Monica is nice and smokin hot too

31. Monica is a nice person, apparently Erica can’t relate. Why so much anger towards a fellow female journalist trying to eek out a living?
