It’s also sobering that about half of those top posts are negative. Is that really what I want to be known for?

      @marcoarment you’ve written about this problem of negativity before http://www.marco.org/2009/02/25/negativity …

      @LinusEdwards I know. I still haven’t learned.

      @marcoarment You’re known for your productive work: Tumblr, Instapaper, Magazine, Bugshot, Overcast. The writing is commentary.

    @marcoarment - I'd hope you'd be known as the person responsible for "nudging" Apple onto the path of QA/QC.

      @marcoarment That is, the bulk of what people interact with related to you is your good work. That’s what you’re known for.

    @marcoarment It's "critical" thinking for a reason. Life is an endless bugfix. Some are content to make the same mistakes. Others: progress.

    @marcoarment damn dude. People know who you are and that you do care about Apple. This is why you bothered to post this. Don’t worry.

      @marcoarment For what it’s worth, I think that’s the case regardless of who’s writing. People like to read and share negative things.

      @marcoarment People read and respond to negativity more. Reminds me of this conundrum: http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-news-from-elsewhere-30318261 …

      @marcoarment Not negative, discerning. One of the reasons why I really liked Hypercritical is because John complained without being negative

    @marcoarment It’s the things we care about enough to want to see them fixed which motivate us most to both write and read.

    @marcoarment To me you’re known for apt criticism. There was nothing in your past that was factually wrong. That matters a lot.

    @marcoarment Consider why you say those things though: You believe that things can and should be better. That’s worth speaking out about.

    @marcoarment The article is righteous. Stand by it. Correct the outlets that need it. But, you could be responsible for important change.

    @marcoarment I don't think you're negative, just critical, which I believe isn't necessarily a bad thing. Also we value your opinion. A lot.
