Maybe Ryan's late with my "paycheck" because I'm Norwegian?

Or British? I used to know. I forgot now.
I thought the outsourcing was directly to Taiwan, where the cracking fingers of children type stilted five-paragraph reviews of Spoon songs for Mush Records promos and internet stardom.

People at Pitchfork worry about unclear writing?

the editing comment is strange too, FWIW i wouldn't class you with the difficult/lazy writers on pitchfork.

Uh, tossing that around as a reason for termination is a rather heavy charge. If you truly believe this is even remotely one of the reasons why you were fired, then you should get an attorney.

1) i tend to dislike concept reviews on pitchfork. yes, i realize that is like the generic easy complaint about pitchfork. yes, i realize that certain hip-hop pitchforkers get away with it. anyway i think your "straight" reviews are better than your concept reviews. you should do some gonzo reviews, i don't think i've ever seen any of those from you.
2) all of the songs you reference in the third "stanza" (the third section between ***s) are bangers. you seem to acknowledge that. yes, that only accounts for 1/3rd of the album. still, by my reckoning the strength of those tracks makes the album at least an 8.1 (if not a 9.1!) rather than a 4.1. i've listened to it a lot this year, always skipping from "$$$ girls" to the chingy remix and then letting it start over.

Continue kicking ass and handing out the dummy smacks elsewhere.
