I must be getting very blase about this sort of thing. Even the last lot my first reaction was "Great. I can't wait for Joe Konrath to fisk it." And Joe exceeded my expectations. Two fisks in two days, a record. I must remember to buy his next book.
This time, I can't even be bothered skimming the rubbish, let alone reading it. And even with Joe's talent for fisking, there must be limits to how entertaining a fisk can be when it is simply addressing the same tired, illogical statements which do not deserve the dignity of being called arguments. I say this without even skimming it, and reached my conclusion that it is the same old rubbish on the basis of Nate's blog post. I also had a brief look at the Passive Voice post, expecting at least a couple of sentences from PG, but it appears he sees nothing worth commenting on.
This rubbish simply confirms that the Cartel is living in fantasy land and shows no signs of coming to terms with the new reality. As Barry Eisler indirectly points out, authors should run a mile from any organisation with Author in the title which purports to represent their interests.
