""Perhaps the most perplexing reaction of all in the comment cloud is the fear of new ideas, new forms, new experiments in this thing most of us should never call journalism." I know! Is it fear? I'm not sure. Not liking to see a streamy essay on a blog site certainly is conservative and uncreative on the part of the douchebagerati (<- love that term). Why should it be threatening? I don't get that. I hate the piling on and have tried to understand it. It does seem clear that this camp thought it could make you look unpopular with the boss. When that didn't work they tried to run you off with insults. Good for you for turning to face the crowd instead. I wish I could run demographics on all of the commenters. Many of the critics mention your age and I have to think a good share of them are puppies?" - Amyloo
