My Dad Was Right: Being On The Right Side of An Argument Is A Gypsy's Curse

So my dad called into Barstool Radio and dropped this gem on us today. He said being 100% correct in an argument or lawsuit is a Gypsy’s Curse because you can’t stop talking about how right you are. Well I just fell victim to that. Some lady Stephanie Ebbert called me from the Boston Globe asking me to comment about the Elika story. Well knowing that we’re 100% right and anybody with an ounce of common sense would realize that I called her back. Within 5 seconds I knew this was a hit piece. She already had her story written in her head. There was nothing I could say that would make her change her mind. She was Team Elika to the death. None of the facts mattered to her. She actually had the gall to say (paraphrasing here) “I spoke with lawyers who have nothing to do with your industry and here is what they said..” I kept cutting her off saying I don’t care what twitter lawyers say or lawyers not related to this field had to say, but she was relentless. Eventually I just hung up on her. I then googled her (which I should have done originally) and it was pretty obvious she has an agenda. I’d be stunned if a hit piece isn’t coming. That’s my fault for being excited to talk about how right we are. I never should have given her the time of day. Gypsey’s Curse 101. Score a point for Michael Portnoy Esquire. It’s just sad that “jouranlists” write stories totally based on personal agendas and with a total disregard of the facts. Now if she writes a fair and balanced article I’ll be the first to apologize, but based on what just transpired I’m pretty confident this won’t be the case. #Sad. If I’m guilty of anything it’s of having an open mind.

PS – Why did I preblog this?  Simple.  Michael Scott 101.  Alert the media, and then you control the story. Wait for them to find out, and the story controls you. That’s what happened to O.J.
