I'll come out and say I read Scoble. I don't have to admire the man to gain a little bit of insight from what he talks about (though I do respect and admire him to a healthy degree).
When I first heard of the story, it was from Robert's blog post here. Robert's post is concise and informative. It's small but it gets to the point quickly yet with a certain calmness to it. Robert links to a blog post here which seems to be the exact opposite end of the spectrum. It's seething with hatred...
