Please, he opened up a giant can of strawmen and smeared the CL community because he prefers eBooks, different kind of web design and more marketing.

So yes, I consider it douchey to open a completely pointless debate where there could have been a constructive discussion about the strengths of CL.



One man's "strawmen" are another man's real issues. If you disagree with someone on what the problems are, all he says would look like strawmen.

That doesn't warrant a "douchebag" stamp.

Plus I don't think the word "douchebag" or "douchey" os appropriate for a discussion among people that are not 17-year olds, 20-yo tops. There are far better adult swear words available if needs be.


You are right. In retrospect I am a fool.


Well, don't take it hard on yourself. We all are sometimes!
