Non sequitur, except in that it's a perfect example of what Alex is talking about. However, taking his question on its own terms, the difference is that Barry doesn't respond to praise at all (not even with a courteous "Thanks"); but he responds to criticism in one of two ways: either he blows it off, as here, or he replies with one of his long ad hominem rants attacking the critic. > In my opinion, there should be no difference whatsoever. > If you think you can make a case for there being one, > go for it...I'd be interested... See above for my take. (Actually this time Barry didn't attack the critic, Michael, but--surprise!--me.)
