The banality of linking to Jakob could perhaps only be surpassed by linking to the hipster doofuses who whine about Jakob. At least link to commentary that is mildly entertaining.

Hey, Jim? My anger management classes seem to have gone all threadbare on me, so I'll have to leave you with a hearty "fuck you, and the horse you rode in on."

Oh great, here we go again. Any time someone doesn't like/agree with Adam's commentaries he lashes out at them. Very professional.

Gee, I feel like the bully of Mrs. Weinstein's 3rd grade class just pushed me against the wall for striking a little too close to the truth. How sad for you.

On second thought, I shouldn't be surprised getting crap from someone who starts his article with the question, "What is Jakob smoking?"

If you can't be smart, be funny. The world already has enough jerks.

Jim, you're abundantly welcome to disagree with me. I love disagreement. It's how I learn.

However, like most people, I don't enjoy being called a "hipster doofus" by someone who's never even met me. So, consider: is this about me? Or is it really about you?

My reference was regarding all web designers who bitch and moan about Jakob. You took is personally and lashed out in a mean fashion. This may be par for your course, but I, for one (or two, as it's apparent I'm not alone), won't put up with abuse.

Why, then, insult folks in a broadbrush fashion, when it's clear you wouldn't enjoy the same? It's not as if "doofuses" or lightweights are the only ones to have lost respect for Nielsen's work over the last couple of years. More than a few well-known, high-profile usability professionals of my acquaintance share similar opinions (if generally expressed more diplomatically than I care to).

Your self-righteousness mystifies me. Why are "hipsters" entitled to less respect than you are?

Self-rigehteousness? I'm done "talking" to you. Go back to whatever rock you crawled out from under.

Well, OK, I will. But only after I say hi to John and Mac, whose voices I miss here under my rock.

Seriously, Jim: relax.

Hi, right back at you Adam.

Friends need not agree in everything or go always together, or have no comparable other friendships of the same intimacy. On the contrary, in friendship union is more about ideal things: and in that sense it is more ideal and less subject to trouble than marriage is. - George Santayana
