I've stopped getting angry at Morford. Instead, I pray for his soul. That probably infuriates him more.

[End Times Sentinel]

It's not just that she's 100% dead wrong about everything, or that she's a horrible writer, unable to make any point whatsoever, but she just goes on and on!  Hard to believe anyone could enjoy her rambling screeds.

I saw this book discounted at Boarders in Cleveland.

Outta the mouths of Sodomites...

This article is not nearly as gay as it should be.

You need to choose better subject matter for this guy.

.....realizing how an American presidential regime has openly lied and betrayed the nation so as to lead our exhausted populace into two brutal unwanted wars and a paralyzing deficit just to further a corporate-crony agenda, you just sort of sit there and go, yeah, well, what else is new.

I agree! The Kennedy regime betrayed all Americans, left us exhausted, and set that extremely wealthy Massachusetts cabal in place, which still lingers today, threatening us all.

...more uptight sects cringe and recoil and deny deny deny. So you know it must be true.
This is such an intellectually dishonest presupposition, that it makes me gag. I had a brief flash of the police knocking on his door and accusing him of a horrific crime, and him denying, denying, denying - well, we all know that there must be some grain of truth in the accusations if he is going to deny it.

The STANDARD has been set.

Full background on the author of the book is required. Who he is associated with, talked to, related to and everything they have ever uttered.

[Petronski]

I think he's stoned.

I'd hate to be the one to break it to Mark that "The Da Vinci Code" is fiction. *Shhhhh.*

[Steve_Seattle]

If Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene, why should the church try to hide it? That's the flaw in all these conspiracy theories about early Christianity, i.e., Jesus attracted followers, who - for some unknown reason - immediately falsified everything about his life and created a church diametrically opposed to what he really stood for.

The only thing Morford can write about with any credibility is the male anus.

A better way to complain about Mark Morford

News of Mark Morford's latest disgraceful San Francisco Chronicle article has spread like wildfire the last 36 hours. Quite a few people have expressed their displeasure with his irresponsible rantings, writing him directly. I'm not convinced that writing the guy does anything more than let him know that he's succeeding in angering people he obviously wanted to anger. He's a print-medium version of a radio shock jock: he wants to raise our hackles.

I would like to emphasize, as I did in my original post on the matter, that he should lose his job at the Chronicle, since he's going to cost his employer advertising dollars if he continues. That's the way to be truly effective. Certainly, you should copy Morford on your complaint, but he's much more likely to get that special sinking feeling when he realizes that he's simply a 3rd party in the complaint.

The SF Chronicle does have an impressively comprehensive "Address Book" page, from which I'll excerpt this interesting little tidbit:

Reader representative: If you have comments on The Chronicle's coverage, standards or accuracy, please call Dick Rogers, the readers' representative, at (415) 777-7870. Written comments can be e-mailed to readerrep@sfchronicle.com, faxed to (415) 442-1847, or addressed to Readers' Representative, c/o San Francisco Chronicle, 901 Mission St., San Francisco, CA 94103. For information on delivery, billing or how to become a subscriber, call (800) 281-2476.

The Chronicle has a page listing contact information for the people who run the revenue side (advertising makes up the lion's share of a newspaper's revenue stream).

Consider contacting these people directly:

* George Raine - Business Reporter, Advertising and Marketing
* Beverly Best - Retail/National Sales Manager - (415) 777-7244

And here's the masthead: the people who actually run the paper's operations. Contact them.

"Wicked..in a good way."

Here's someone who just never got it. I wonder where he stands on the war on terror? He probably blames us for all the people being blown up in Irag, thinking it would be the Garden of Eden were it not for us.

Morfor: Da Vinci Code Your Life

Da Vinci code: utter crock.

[expatpat]

Why isn't this guy in the asylum? Incoherent rants are enjoyed in SF, apparently.

To call Brown's book well-researched is ridiculous. He mixes some true facts with a bunch of fanciful BS, and doesn't even know where the Mona Lisa hung when the female protagonist was a kid (in the Grand Salon, not in the current special room).

[spodefly]

Often, just behind the facade of things is a huge hunk of gorgeous convoluted magic you would do well to lick.

This is Morford's philosophy of life -- find something to lick.

[Sofa King]

"What supposedly sacred truths are available to us are all relative to those who hold the power. Often, just behind the facade of things is a huge hunk of gorgeous convoluted magic you would do well to lick. Meanwhile, the divine feminine is right there, winking, sighing heavily, waiting for you. Like, duh."

Someone needs to lay off of the bong before she writes any more articles. Really, this confused mess shouldn't be sufficient for a high school publication, much less a professional media outlet.

[oyez]

It serves no purpose to publish this kind of praddle maybe except to prove into what depths some people lost themselves. Morford rantings reveal that trappings of a tortured soul. Prayer intentions are noted in this case.
