Washington Post article on MoFi vs. Fremer vs. Esposito


Here's a link to a Washington Post article on the recent dustup with MoFi. The comments section (including posts by Michael Fremer) are interesting.

Well I dont think that stating the obvious that we are lied to on a regular basis changes things one iota. Some sort of weird relativism at work evidently. 

Let the market decide if MoFi goes out of business. I will never buy another MoFi product and this will be the end of my involvement. 

Tomcy6 am I missing something or are you expressing the precise attitude I mentioned earlier?

From my earlier post:

I think that most people agree that MoFi did a real bad thing and I think that people have a valid reason to be angry with MoFi. I think that a little perspective is needed, though. 

That's all I was saying.  Be angry but don't lose your mind.  And yes, I wish that people would save their outrage for things that really matter.  

As if, within each of us, exists a limited amount of anger which when directed towards things that dont really matter will diminish what we have left for things that do. I am not being snide and I hope you see my point. .

You misunderstood me. What I meant was that when I look around, I see people getting angry about things that are not that important while being oblivious to very serious problems. For example, fentanyl is pouring into our country causing untold death and misery here and in Mexico, but it seems like very few people are concerned about it in the least. I would prefer that people direct more of their anger at that and less at MoFi, but each person is free to direct their anger wherever they want, of course..
