I thought long and hard about expressing this sentiment. I can’t help it, I want to talk about this subject even if I feel I have to do it in the most general terms I can. At the same time, I don’t want to come off as chiding the folks involved, I’m certainly no better or worse than any of them and often times I’m sure I’m worse. I am tired, very tired, of all of the noxious bickering that I’ve been seeing in the Weblog “community.” It does a disservice to the medium, and it does a disservice to to the people involved. It also does a fantastic job of snuffing out valuable conversation. It’s very disappointing to see people, all of whom I respect a great deal, trade in some of their credibility either for some credit, or to be “right,” whatever that means.
