Just moments after we published a tiny piece of commentary regarding the Times' profile of publicist Ronn Torossian, we received an email (subject header in capital letters, of course) from the man himself:

[...]is wrong — I don[’]t represent Jamie[-]Lynn (and the article doesn[’]t say or imply that I do).... A lawsuit generates news.

Actually, it says clearly that you do:

'"We've got a problem with Jamie-Lynn DiScala," Mr. Torossian said. His agency had signed the actress, Ms. DiScala, who has battled eating disorders, to be a spokeswoman for the casino in return for publicizing her anti-bulimia efforts.'

Of course, I could be reading that wrong, but it says your agency signed Jamie-Lynn. Sorry for the confusion.

Best,
Jessica

Unsurprisingly, a man like Torossian has to have the last word. Read on to satisfy both your sense of irony and your inner copy-editor.

I represent the casino, not her. It[’]s wrong.

[A]nd what merits the profile[?] We are the fastest growing agency in the US. [We] started 2 years ago[,] alone on a roof, and now we [have] 35 people and 50 clients... That's not news for a 30[-]year[-]old CEO ?

Ronn, I'm sorry the Times got it wrong. You should call the reporter; I'll make a clarification on the site.

You're sounding defensive, and I don't know why. We comment as we please; that's our job. Surely you don't mind the attention, you silly goose!

Yes, you [may] comment as you please.... [B]ut, your article is off, wrong and stupid. I am not [like] the other morons in my business who run around every night with celebrities. We exist to make our clients more money, not to be celebrities. You are wrong.

That remains to be seen, now doesn't it? In the meantime, we think we've got the edge on grammar and punctuation.
