This schism is the direct result of petulance, betrayal and stupidity.
Warmcat emails PJ, then publicizes selected excerpts thereof when he doesn't get the desired result. Why not do what people in reality do? Quietly try again. Complaining that he didn't get a response in what was initially described as '60 times longer' than the first reply took, he goes public. Turns out '60 times longer' was actually *under two days* over a weekend. Ridiculous. (and he calls me a 'blowhard' :D)
If he was going to publicize the contents of a purportedly private email discussion anyway, why didn't he go to Groklaw and make the request publicly? For a guy bitching about 'Openness', that would have made more sense. It would also have meant we could all see the dialog unedited and discuss it where it belongs, on Groklaw.
It was weasel work to pretend to have a private discussion, then go public with it. I have some tantalizing stuff from email discussions with certain 'analysts' that common decency and legal issues (mostly common decency) prevent me from sharing.
If people here held themselves to the same self serving standards they expect, no - *demand* from PJ, then these interminable Grokwars of the last few weeks could have been avoided entirely.
I used to have fun tormenting the real trolls here, but with all the help they are getting from the BGLE, I guess they own this place now.
See you in the funny papers.
