Bob Armstrong emails:
Luke:
Been a long time, but Modern Love did the trick. Here’s my take:
In his e-mail to you, David said he was “kind of taken aback by your bitterness” regarding Amy Klein’s Modern Love piece in The New York Times. I’m with David. In the headline and her opening graph, you [...]

I was accused in Sunday’s New York Times of being a cyberstalker.
It was an ugly smear.
I’m glad I’m not as irresponsible as the New York Times with my language.
I feel sick.
Throughout my life, I’ve creeped out a lot of decent people.
I hate this about myself.
I’m frustrated. I feel like one solution would be to not [...]
Former Jewish Journal managing editor Amy Klein experiences the sweet dagger of surrender in Sunday’s New York Times:
WHEN I met the blogger Luke Ford at a media party six years ago, I had no idea who he was. I certainly had no idea he would become my cyberstalker. He was just some guy — tallish [...]
I got a message this morning from Amy Klein, formerly of the Jewish Journal, that she has an essay on me in the New York Times’ Modern Love section. Here:
“Why don’t we write a story about Luke Ford?” my editor in chief suggested.
But I didn’t want to. I didn’t want to give him the satisfaction. [...]
I miss you, baby!
Her name wasn’t on the masthead of the latest issue of Jewish Journal.
If you call the Jewish Journal, they won’t tell you where she went.
She left two weeks ago.
Maybe she found love in Ohio?
Did she have a spat with managing editor Susan Freudenheim?
I hear Amy was laid off for financial reasons. The [...]
The Jewish Journal always buys a table for the LA Press Club awards…but somehow this year they have no room for Orit Arfa. Oy. It’s all editors and management. Fat cats, not hot babes.
I say, hos before bros!
Huh! The top result in Google for "Orit Arfa" is my blog! And for "Amy Klein" too! Hot!
I’ll [...]
For the great sin of not getting along with Jewish Journal managing editor Susan Freudenheim, the newspaper has lost a few male writers (Marc Ballon, etc).
I guess she’s allergic to testosterone.
Every time I start to read something by her, it becomes so exquisitely sensitive, I feel too dirty to finish.
How long must I wait until [...]
Amy Klein writes:
When I was 25, my Orthodox girlfriends and I discussed at what age, if we weren’t married, we might sleep with someone. The question was deeper than its "Sex and the City" nature might sound (although those girls had made that decision a long time ago).
The question wasn’t just about sex. [...]
