I'm fairly sure it's the comment thread that I started (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=831461 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=831461) which set off this essay, so I guess I'm the archetype of "ordinarily calm people who go berserk when [Arrington's] name comes up in comment threads". But if your explanation of my psychology is correct, then why don't I go berserk at you as well? I've disagreed with a few of your essays, and by and large pointed out those disagreements in these comment threads, but I've never disagreed violently with any of them. My beef with Arrington is that he writes a gossip tabloid. Nothing more, nothing less.
