I agree that a writer should state his position. Generally, I like LWN's way of discussing things.

To me, your article conveyed something like "Thy Driver Shall Be In the Tree and Shame on You Who Disagree", and I took it as a cause to dispute that statement.

I may have misinterpreted the tone of your article. I apologize if it is so.

Maybe it's just because I'm familiar with this writer's style, but I did not take "you do the right thing and ..." to be advice from Jon, but rather his description of the position that the folks in control hold.

When LWN reports on a fresh controversy, it usually "argues" both sides in that same style.
