And while I'm here, this line of thinking is quite possibly the stupidest on CHUD. I'm sure this will generate a number of variations on "stop sucking Devin's cock," but I'm just generally tired of this sentiment:
"Boy, I really respect your opinion, except when you're outraged about me, or something I like."
I think Devin's a pretty funny and engaging writer. I don't expect everyone to agree. But it's annoying to see people conceal their whining as some of criticism of Devin's critical point-of-view. I suppose one of the reasons I'll read his main page content and board posts is that I detect a similar point-of-view and critical eye in both.
If someone whose opinion I trusted said that I'm an idiot, or that I should reconsider what I'm saying or doing, I'd reflect on that. I wouldn't blindly agree, but I wouldn't immediately shout back either.
