You don’t find the idea of someone who supposedly stands for open conversation telling someone else to “shut up and sit down” more than a little hypocritical?

Nick is a smart critic of the whole “blogosphere” hype. Like all critics, sometimes he’s right, sometimes he’s wrong. In this case, I actually think his point is fundamentally correct, but ignores a few interesting counter points.

For the record, I would miss Nick if he were to sit down and shut up. You guys desperately need a foil, even if you don’t appreciate it.

I do not agree with Nicholas Carr, but I ask myself why the discourses in the Blogosphere are so harsh.
(Maybe I’m not born to be 2.0).

All this name calling is really necessary.
Hey Mike, you are
a) taking it too personally
b) feeding the troll
