I know enough to know evil when I see it.
And how do you know enough about them? Media?
I know enough to know evil when I see it.
I don't know if anyone else has been following this, but I've finally gotten through both articles and all of the comments.
IMO, it looks like Ars Techinca has, mostly credulously, accepted a narrative pretty obviously intended to whitewash the reputation of the articles' subject. (not saying his name so he doesn't get any more SEO love)
See Fancy Internet Person's running commentary for a short version
The response by the editorial staff to the commenters valid questions and concerns has been even worse, extremely tone deaf. Then, they lock both comment threads. The first was getting a bit angry, but the second was actually very civil.
I've really lost a lot of respect for Ars over this, and I'm pretty sad about it, because IMO, they have been one of the most trustworthy sites for tech news for a long time.
