Calling BS

Yesterday I linked to Ken Levine's tribute to TV writer extraordinaire David Lloyd. Today I was reading the comments and noted this from Brian Scully, an old friend and TV writer himself:

David Lloyd was such a wonderful writer and we will not see his like again. And your tribute to him was very moving, Ken. What a wonderful way to say "goodbye" to a friend... or to introduce a friend to people who may not have known his name, but knew his work.

Sounds fine to me. But "Anonymous" below wasn't so thrilled:

Dear Brian Scully:

"David Lloyd was such a wonderful writer and we will not see his like again."

Sounds heartfelt, Brian. Now go back to writing your AIDS and incest 'jokes' for "Family Guy", and continue to ruminate on the declining standards of television comedy.

By the way, I like Family Guy and its jokes just fine.
