Last year's interview with Jason Jones is a revelation. (Destiny)

The reason people use those "vague, blanket accusations" isn't because they CAN'T name names. It's because it's considered rude to do so. I, for one, can think of two very specific people off the top of my head who, whenever they see Cody has posted something, seem to immediately try to post something countering it without actually processing what he's saying at all.

TBH, while I do think Cody's sometimes (often, even) too unequivocal with his phrasing, I actually am much more annoyed lately by the knee-jerk reactions to his posts, most of which basically equate to "you have a different opinion than me, so please stop saying your opinion." I think if one were to read Cody's posts carefully, they'd notice that while he's often very set on his opinion and argues for it as far and as long as possible, he rarely if ever suggests that his opponent should just shut up.

Another point is that even though he may be riding the same hobby horse, he's an interesting and articulate writer, who can dress it up and make it seem as if today he is riding a camel. I'm more bothered by boring rote repetition. Add in some boorishness, and I'm really annoyed.
