@paulg I'm not sure any correlation beyond just more people reading it is positive. Mad people get dumb. -
@paulg I thought Seth Bannon's response was the least bad of a mostly pretty worthless set of responses. -
@paulg But I wouldn't expect to see thoughtful rebuttals within the same weekend. Those take time, even if you're wrong. -
@paulg I saw@baconmeteor glibly dismiss it. He could presumably craft a highly entertaining and urbane rebuttal. I hope to read it. -
@baconmeteor Of course, you could still do that even if@paulg is right. But if he's wrong, it's badly needed. -
@kragen arguing with Paul Graham is as rewarding and enjoyable as getting in a fistfight with a vat of bread dough. -
@baconmeteor While I appreciate that position, having mud-wrestled plenty of pigs, he's persuading people you could persuade back. -
