Things have only gone downhill since. But I'm happy with the manner in which I split the opinion there. At first most commenters refrained from defending Wikileaks due to Johnson and Kilgore Trout's stance and now Johnson and Trout have both lost reputation due to the manner in which they conducted themselves. Johnson yesterday posted a pic of the "mansion" that Assange is staying at during his trial and then posted a picture of people in dress coats and luxurious trappings, etc. Turns out to be a picture from an entirely different place hundreds of miles away. It's my fault for having gone on record that he is intellectually honest. You were the one who identified Michael Hastings; as such, I want you to take a more prominent stance in identifying those who ought to be included in PM blogger network at first.

Just spent an hour scrolling up and down the comments to the LGF post linked below; aside from the actual dispute, I did sense a hardening of attitudes (or maybe more accurately, a surfacing of attitudes long rigid) to an extent that would make joint efforts seem less likely in the future.  So yeah, I guess not.
