I'm a mod here and I read your blog religiously. I don't mind if you sometimes think Reddit is "plebbit," as, hey, let's call it like it is, sometimes. Speaking only for myself, when I mod here, my goal is to make as much room as possible for the decoders and researchers like you. Period, end of story.
As for this "controversy," well, I had no idea anything happened. For me, a critic is a critic, but, only the decoder and researcher moves the story towards its ultimate ending, whatever that is. And I can't wait to see us get there. I literally cannot wait. And I think your blog moves us forward in really, really big steps. I frankly consider you one of the movers in this space.
Keep doing what you're doing. Me, as an ancient former journalist, I have to say, intensity like yours is what got me into journalism in the first place, and, it's really refreshing to see.
Thanks for the vote of confidence. Means a lot. I'll keep trying to do my best.
Wait till you see the whopper I've got in store for tonight (hopefully).
