Characterizing my post as “disappointed” misses my point entirely.

I’m tired of talk. It’s endless and pointless. Don’t make New Years resolutions. Quit the fucking donut shop and start exercising.
Well, Dan–you went through a full cycle of grief on that post, from the sad to the rationalization (skipping the mad, but I get that). I admit to being a bit slower to get to the “what have we learned” part, and being a bit stuck on “mad,” but as a very independent commentator, I can do that. But I do get your point, and agree. I was one of the cautionary voices Ed alluded to in his original post, but even so I think this whole “takedown” business was just so incredibly unnecessary.
