Believe it or not, some people do not like everything published in this space.

Crazy talk, we know.

Still, the blessing and the curse of a gossip column is that, if you are doing the job correctly, each time you publish, somebody, somewhere is sweating bullets hoping that whatever’s about to be printed does not happen to expose their deepest, darkest secrets.
