Eric Barton, New Times Editor, Interviewed on South Florida Food and Wine Blog

• Oh of course how silly of me. You are absolutely right that all comments have to be snide. That by their very nature of a comment is to be snide, derogatory, or condescending and to come off as a jerk. And of course because you are omnipotent you know the exact motivation of of why Christine blogs, or why Erik writes or decides what he wants to do and why, or what everybody thinks. Not that it matters since you seem to think the only opinion that counts is yours and everybody else's is either wrong or their opinion doesn't matter. Because after all you are so knowledgeable when it comes to the food and the restaurant scene and know the true indisputable inside story which proves that Christine is dishonest. Because you have years and years and years of experience in the industry Mr. Dennis Van Asselt.

• Snide comments are what comments are all about. Comments are thoughts and reactions to an article. My thought on this one is why would anyone agree to do an interview on a site whose mission is to trick people into going to places they probably don't want to go by disguising advertisements as restaurant reviews? I'd think that anyone with any integrity would want to avoid being associated with that type of behavior.

• Sort of like it is to bad that you can't pass up the opportunity to make a snide comment.

• Eric is an editor? I thought he was John's driver..... Its too bad that Christine can't make Eric sound like some combination of Brad Pitt, Terrell Owens and Albert Einstein the way she makes every restaurant sound like a life-changing experience.

• Unfortunately they kept calling him the "food editor," looks like you didn't get your deserved credit. :(
