Bye Week

I am imposing a one-week suspension on myself from this blog, coincidentally coinciding with the Bears' week off. There is no need to fully air my grievances here, except to say that too many times in the last week alone, contributors to this website have shifted from the substance of my commentary to attacks, explicit or implicit, of a more personal nature, for which I have neither the stomach nor the time to continually respond.

In my absence, enjoy Week 7 and the first few games of the World Series. I hope to return next Thursday to find again the intelligent, funny, and entertaining website that I so enthusiastically joined 19 months ago.
