This Just In: I'm Goin' To You-Know-Where

Most of the e-mail and phone calls have been in agreement with today's column on the Stanton dismissal, although about a fourth or fifth of it disagrees. Here's a good one with the subject line, "Your Disgusting Article":

Garter I would expect that reading your article you also wear panties, dresses and nylons along probably with a garter belt. If you have children, which I am sure you do not, but just in case (very sad) you do, I am sure you are teaching them before school how to dress like the opposite sex. Have a great day, as I realize reading your article you probably won't have a very enjoyable one when this life is over. -- Robert Greene

Thanks, Robert!

I think Robert protests a bit much, don't you? Wonder what he's hiding...

It's sad God died and left these people in charge. God says U have to loose Ur life. Now we all know how..

"It is better to sit in silence and appear ignorant, than to open your
mouth and remove all doubt." --(attributed to) Mark Twain

Robert, pay attention! :)

Yikes Robert! You are a cyber bully!

Howard,

You wouldn't know modern panties if Stanton gave them to you. Even for a journalist your attire is embarrassing. For goodness sakes man even Andy Barnes dressed sharper than you and that's not saying much.

I would like to say Asa lama lakem to all my black Muslim friends.

Wow, compelling intellectual argument from Robert there.

I'm sure he's a Mensa candidate.

Wow, Howard,

This provides a visual I can certainly live without. I see sleepless nights ahead... Please don't post a pic! :)

Simply put, some will engage in perverse acts. Whether it's a foot fetish, necrophilia, preying on children, whatever; these people aren't wired right. Should we accept such behavior? I don't think so.

(from the comments) is this the same guy? Bob=Robert Greene?

Could someone tell Bob that a foot fetish, ummm necropsychobabblephilia, preying on children and a man trapped in a woman's body are apples, grapes, bananas and not vegetables?

Bob what does a good foot fetish have to do with anything ???
I live for the reply.

About This Blog

Welcome to TroxBlog, the web-home of columnist Howard Troxler, where he and readers discuss his column topics and current events. The goal here is to focus on the merits of issues, instead of personal attacks or knee-jerk partisanship.

Howard Troxler has been a St. Petersburg Times metro columnist since 1991. His print column normally appears Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays on page 1B.

Born March 19, 1959, in Burlington, N.C., Troxler writes a mix of reporting, analysis, satire and commentary on state and local matters. He considers himself politically unpredictable with libertarian leanings ("I'm for gay marriage WITH gun ownership") but readers routinely conclude he is hopelessly biased against whatever it is they happen to be for. He is married with no children and lives in St. Petersburg.
