 According to the "Trăirist" writer Mihail Sebastian, Nae Ionescu regarded Tudor as an amusement; moreover, others in the press simply felt that Tudor was a "cretinous journalist".An even more virulent critic was the maverick "Gândirea" editor and left-leaning "Trăirist" Petre Pandrea, who contends that Tudor was notorious as a blackmailer.Pandrea and Tudor first clashed around 1928, shortly after Pandrea published his "White Lily Manifesto" of the revolutionary youth.
