“I decided over five years ago I was going to leave Andrew Kole alone,” writes Post blogger Michael Conniff, “mainly because I thought he was harmless, small-minded, and insignificant. Unfortunately, though small-minded and insignificant, he is not harmless: the time has come to say that virtually everyone in Aspen agrees that Andrew Kole is an annoyance, a pest, and (much worse) a back-stabber. The number of people who can’t stand him could win him an Aspen election twice over. Totally by coincidence, twice in the past week two people came up to me in Parallel 15 and started to rant about him, with both whistling the same old tune: he acts nice to your face and then he stabs you in the back and then he acts like he can’t understand why you don’t like him.”
