I love a strong argument

I love a strong argument

The other day, I commented at Late to the Party (http://jezlyn.wordpress.com/) that I love a good tirade (http://jezlyn.wordpress.com/2009/02/20/im-mad-as-hell-movie-weekend/#comments). To me, that consists of protracted monologue driven by emotion yet crafted with intellect. I think her series of blog entries this week against the stupidity of the TV and cable industry were spot on. I loved it!

Likewise, I really appreciate a strong argument. To me, a strong argument is focused, specific to the situation, and logical. And I believe that's what Sam Johnston (http://samj.net/) of Save the Netbooks (http://blog.savethenetbooks.com/) has now delivered.

I absolutely hated the arguments (http://sumocat.blogspot.com/2009/02/save-small-laptops.html) they initially presented, but after a savory debate with Sam, I believe they have an argument that cuts out the fat (https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14494870&postID=6050358343501519387). It is lean and targeted. Doesn't mean it's valid, but I think it requires a strong argument to counter. And it does not involve deliberate, outside genericide (http://sumocat.blogspot.com/2009/02/how-to-kill-trademark.html). No reason to hate it. Every reason to like it, so I do. I like it a lot, and that's a very pleasing outcome.
