The better writer

I was having a conversation on MSN Messenger today when AK mentioned that he had finally read Colin's blog and he thought it was well-written. I told him that Colin has always been an excellent and witty writer* and is a better writer than AK. AK, being a top, highly-paid, award-winning copywriter, was scandalised by that comment and he was obviously displeased. After several more exchanges, with me having great fun, poking him about it, unleashing one broadside after another...

This was part of what transpired after:

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
Seriously, I do think he is a better writer than you.
AK says:
well, you haven't read anything i have other than usual work.
AK says:
that's not a good comparison
Chuang Shyue Chou says:
You claim to have better writing hidden somewhere?
Chuang Shyue Chou says:
SHOW.
AK says:
i don't have any, because i simply haven't written any.


*Colin's emails and forum posts are witty, well-written and entertaining. His blog is not very reflective of that.
