Default Re: Analysis of Lightfoot career - long read.

I found the piece to be quite long-winded and pompous. If you want someone to be able to read and appreciate a piece, especially an opinion piece, keep it simple. Don’t stuff ten pounds of sh*t into a five lb. sack.

I appreciate his sentiments (to a degree), but it comes across as arrogant and obtuse. Yes, some of Lightfoot’s material bears scrutiny and its healthy to read such a treatment. But, difficult turns of phrase hinder this writing.
