“Raging Thunderbolt” on Gruber:

The implicature is that opinionated viewpoints, like Gruber’s and MG Siegler’s, are the way to go. The implicature is also that MG Siegler’s recent attack on The Verge and the subsequent ultra-defensive stance are perfectly justified.

But if Gruber scrolled down, he would also find Rosen saying that:

I think it’s wiser to be ecumenical about this. A great deal of progress can be made with a pluralistic solution. Let’s have View from Nowhere people flourishing side by side with “here where I’m coming from” journalists, and see what happens. Ease up and let both systems operate– sometimes within the same news organization.

This is the second time John missed something because he did not scroll to the end. Gruber, please turn on those scroll bars. You are not used to bar-less Lion, yet.

Though perhaps it’s deliberate...

Of course, there’s no room for ecumenicality in the world of dogmatism. So that part of Rosen’s view is conveniently elided.

Yeah, I guess it was always curious that the parts that alter or negates the argument Gruber puts forth are always out of view, never to be quoted.

...

Nah, John just needs to turn the scroll bars back on.
