My rage at John Waters' dated rhetoric and old-school ignorance

IT has always struck me as a bit unseemly when people in the same profession go for each other in print or online. So I never have.

Far better to read about the spats, twitchforkings, and all out assaults on one journalist or broadcaster from another, rather than wade in with an opinion.

For John Waters, the former Irish Times columnist engaged in a one-man propaganda campaign to make himself even more unpopular, I will make an exception. Whatever he thinks about equal marriage is an opinion to which he is entitled.
