Ouch

I guess I should be offended. I am, afterall, one of THEM.


via Slashdot:
"American Library Association president Michael Gorman is not too fond of bloggers and blogging. '[The] Blog People (or their subclass who are interested in computers and the glorification of information) have a fanatical belief in the transforming power of digitization and a consequent horror of, and contempt for, heretics who do not share that belief... Given the quality of the writing in the blogs I have seen, I doubt that many of the Blog People are in the habit of sustained reading of complex texts. It is entirely possible that their intellectual needs are met by an accumulation of random facts and paragraphs.'"


I feel rather intellectually satisfied by referencing his random paragraph. I'm not sure about his facts, though. And I would call his article a blog entry (not by his definition of course) if I didn't know better. For you complex text readers, see the full article.
