But of course you're a fraud like everyone else. I give you another 10-12 years before you're ready to acknowledge that, though.

You wouldn't have said so were I expressing opinions you agree with. People are funny that way.<br /><br /><i>Dunno. The word troll comes to mind.</i><br /><br />You're closer to being one than I am, as you have in common with Jes and most people that you express a negative opinion of those with whom you don't agree. Even Eolake admits to Konrath having a "slightly over-hyped writing style." Whether one agrees with Konrath or not, making unsuportable statements of opinion as though they were facts and repeatedly insulting anyone of a contrary opinion probably is not a good idea for an article you want to be persuasive not only for the already converted. Konrath maybe is not interested in gaining any new converts, as he appears to have to hand a hardcore bunch of sycophants who are fighting each other for the chance to kiss his ass. Most blog writers acquire these followers. They don't like contrary views, and will not often listen to reason.tom lewisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16327517.post-37484137817493717472011-07-13T15:52:06.853+00:002011-07-13T15:52:06.853+00:00Dunno.
