Farino: Open Email Response To Paul Greco on Patrick DiCaprio’s Article

Ain’t Fantasy Baseball just the greatest!

Mr. Greco and Mr. DiCaprio,

A few of your readers contacted me about an article that Patrick wrote on your web site (Premium Section) titled “Are You Kidding”.  Although it was properly titled based on it’s ridiculous out-of-context content, it was also misleading and a false representation of me and my work at www.thecloserreport.com.

I thought we were over this whole issue of you guys feeling the need to constantly attack me, steal my partners, and bash my work, but apparently you still have issues you won’t let go of.  Understand that I and most of the known world do not care what you think of Todd Farino or anyone else for that matter.  I hardly care about this article or the author, but this was so beyond wrong what Patrick wrote that I had to write you and hope I can stop this for the better of the fantasy baseball industry.

Instead of writing petty stuff like pointing out disagreements with other sites and masking it by calling the writers 5th grade names or saying they are not “experts” in your esoteric way, I’d rather focus on my work and customers.  It’s one thing for you to pull content from another site and attack it, but it’s a completely different issue when you think you are so elevated and accredited in the industry that you have the right or reputation to go out and bash other sites for their content and hard work. Then even worse, have the gall to tell people they aren’t “experts”.  Who do you think you guys are?  Let’s solve one issue here and now.  To answer your question about my expertise here is my resume, experience,and reputation.

He then goes on to list "I've been published on Wikipedia" as part of his resume. Awesome.

Jeez, and I thought there was nothing I could care less about than Jack Clark's opinion on Mark McGwire's steroid use.

WHY ARE WE POSTING LINKS TO SECOND-RATE BLOGS?

This guy Farino is the biggest toolbox and, from what I've seen of his work so far, deserves every bit of scorn heaped on him by this other guy he's whining about. I'm probably only bitter because I've been a contributor for 2 fantasy baseball sites that were worlds better than the stupid Bleacher Report, and Repoz never linked to those.

Bleacher Report gets posted because the opinions expressed therein is usually poorly written and hilarious.

I dislike Bleacher Report and rarely link to them, but I'm pretty sure DiCaprio and Greco are Primates...so there you go.
