Dr. Bloom, Iâd like to consider myself to be very good at keeping my composure. I usually do a decent job at staying calm, but today has really gotten my eye twitching, metaphorically.
Will and Hannibal enable each other so badly, itâs driving me a little crazy. They embrace each otherâs toxicity in a way that makes me sick. I act lighthearted, and like it doesnât bother me, but god damn it, these two make me feel insane!
I get backlash constantly for simply writing gossipy articles about crime-related drama. Will and Hannibal, meanwhile, can get away with just about anything with little-to-no rebuttal. Even when they do get people who arenât happy with them, they immediately make some sort of explanation or excuse to discredit that persons argument!
They are so manipulative. I hate manipulative men who think that theyâre god, or adjacent to it. I need a drink to cope with this. (Which, if I do get drunk, I wonât be threatening anybody under the influence. Terribly shocking, I know. [sarcasm.])
Iâm sorry for ranting in your inbox, but it seems like youâd probably understand, and I needed to tell somebody about this. Have a pleasant day or night wherever you are. :)
Sincerely, Freddie Lounds @www-tattlecrime-com .
Freddie, though we have often found ourselves on opposing ends of conflict, and very often on debates on journalistic conduct, I must say I wholeheartedly agree with you.
I can't say I've ever been a supporter of your website, but I do empathize with how you feel. Though you have at times obstructed justice and endangered lives, you have not done so with malicious intent (to my knowledge, at least). The same cannot be said for my former friends and colleagues, the Graham-Lecters.
They do enable each other. In the worst ways imaginable. They hurt people, and each other. They manipulate people, and each other. They eat people (and each other?). And I must say, though I believe Will's apology to be sincere, I agree with you. It is frustrating. Real lives are at stake. Something they don't seem to grasp.
I do understand, Freddie. Drink responsibly. And a pleasant day or night to you as well.
