Thanks for addressing my post The Guy Who Outed Fake Steve Jobs, Hero or Ass? I wrote this post to address all the negative comments I had read about Brad Stone.
I noticed that comments about Brad fell in two distinct categories:
- Brad Stone is the ruiner of all that is good and fun, and probably kicks puppies and tells children about Santa’s secrets as a hobby
- Brad Stone is a journalist with great sleuthing powers and should be given proper respect
I just found it interesting that a majority of the comments considered Brad a big puppy kicker.Personally I had no inclination to figure out the person behind FSJ and just enjoyed the blog as it is.
