He summed their comments up as accusations of "cornophobia." Hilarious - we must have read and responded to this article at nearly the same time. I blogged on this as well. As much as we dislike our clams being pointed out, shrugging it off as the "nature of the beast" does not bode well for winning over hearts and minds.
