However it's a bit low calling someone out as an ex-alcoholic. Call him out on the quality and integrity of his articles by all means. But his alleged alcoholism - true or otherwise - is nobody's business but his and his family's.

- edanm 16y agoI disliked the comment as well. But I honestly think it's not as bad as you make it out to be. Remember, Paul Carr basically makes a living talking about himself, including talking (at length) about his antics, especially while drinking. He also publicly announced his decision to stop drinking, and brings it up quite a lot. I wouldn't go around referring to him as an ex-alcoholic, especially not in such a way, but Paul Carr has definitely made discussions of the subject relevant to more people than his immediate family.

- elvirs 16y agoyou made a genuine point, I stay corrected, thanks.
