Maybe it's just me, (Score 1)

but that type of writing scares me. I read through most of the piece, and I have to admit the article achieves two important goals it's probably aiming for; It's interesting, and it makes you think. But it's also full of so much venom that I find it hard not to question the author's integrity in writing that piece. I can't counter any of the claims made against Katz as I don't read Katz's stuff (can't relate to his style of writing), but the attack on Rob was plain black-hearted. To claim true understanding of the motives undelying Rob's actions concerning the Katz matter and accusing him of commercial opportunism is plain careless moral negligence. Like many other Slashdot readers I've come to know Rob through his thankless work and dedication for our benefit and if I can't claim unshakable faith in Rob's purity of intention, well then, I strongly suspect that it is.
