Quoting Brenda Ragman writes ""We need to think outside the box," she said, knowing a good cliché when she sees one."
Shouldn't a writer who publicly humiliates another writer's work make sure his own language skills are above reproach before attacking another?   Where the hell did she SEE a cliche?  Are they listed on poster boards to help BOS members communicate.  Maybe a more appropriate response would have been, "unfortunately her communication skills are influenced by her Brockton background so she resorted to a much over used worn out cliche to express herself"
