Dear design*sponge:
I am sorry if these remarks come across as "hate." First, let me say that I think we all agree that any*one* posting about design is better than none. And I would have to say I hate very few things, actually I cant think of one (well, okay Bush, sardines, the sound of drills, but we are entitled to our opinions even though it is a very strong word). As I said above, I do not oppose people writing about what they know, and indeed most of us know what we do through our work experience. With regards to my guttural reaction to your site, I only oppose your lack of varying adjectives. I am happy to know about the NYT's retraction. I did see on your site that you acknowledge working for a PR firm that represents some of the things you post about. And Vitra - kudos - terrific client. I am a big fan of rolf fehlbaum.
and not that I would dare to speak for tom moody or bill, but really it seems to me we were edging our way around some bigger issues (trends, criticism, the future of blogging etc). Please don't take it so personally. We poke at others because we can laugh at ourselves.
