it's not the relatively minor, honest part of JC's post that bothers me. It's the fact that the post was a lazy, erroneous, and meanspirited mess.

It was nothing of the sort.

That would never happen at a credible newspaper.

I guess you've never read one of Andrew Dreschel's columns.

I'm not saying mistakes don't happen, or even that systemic mistakes can happen via organizational problems.

Actually that's exactly what you said.

But by saying there is no such thing as a credible newspaper you're saying that there is no difference between such lapses and the carte blanche you get here.

It is quite clear from this article that you get anything but 'carte blanche' here, and that Ryan takes the credibility of this site very seriously.

According to you it makes no difference that amateurs make mistakes because professionals make mistakes too.

I said no such thing. I was merely providing evidence to disprove your absurd claim that professionals don't make mistakes. They do. And often they make far more egregious mistakes that have much greater consequences because of their professional status. But hey, you just keep shaking your fist at those darn bloggers! Let's party like it's 1999!
