I never played gotcha. I can't conceive of any good that comes from playing gotcha. Gotcha is all about focusing attention on the reporter, building the reporter's career. It is NOT about transmitting useful information about the subject at hand. Mayhill played gotcha. She's a fraud, a hypocrite, and a poor imitation of the worst of Maureen Dowd. Rosen was SO WRONG on this whole episode. I look forward to either his future mea culpa. -- stan Hi Scott

Earlier in life I did some newspaper and magazine writing.

I never played gotcha. I can’t conceive of any good that comes from playing gotcha.

Gotcha is all about focusing attention on the reporter, building the reporter’s career. It is NOT about transmitting useful information about the subject at hand.

Mayhill played gotcha. She’s a fraud, a hypocrite, and a poor imitation of the worst of Maureen Dowd.

Rosen was SO WRONG on this whole episode. I look forward to either his future mea culpa.

Why do you think anyone's reading you? Seriously: a guy who can't engage readers ON HIS OWN BLOG is going to write a book about blogging? Based on your clear lack of success with this one-way blather, shouldn't you drop this pretension of being a forward-looking tech writer and see if Parade magazine is hiring instead? Do you even know many reciprocal links do you have coming into this site? GOOG says about 1,160. That's anemic, son! Nobody even comments here. Why do you think anyone’s reading you?
