Michael Church definitely has an axe to grind, and it’s certainly fair to complain about that. I personally think that he’d sway more people to his side of thinking with a less acerbic style, but that’s just me. The issue is that a polemic against PG gets downvoted and removed, but Taleb’s polemic against Nate Silver doesn’t. It certainly makes it look like the subject of a polemic is more important than the tone or content of the article being posted for very specific people.
