While I’m off being disgustingly productive at the things people actually pay me for, I recommend test driving One More Asshole. It’s a newish blog, but if you’ve been reading the comments in the Sonoco thread here, you’re already familiar with the author, William, and probably impressed.
Do I agree with William on everything? Oh, hell, no. But he should be lots of fun to argue with.
Go read.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!111!!!!(No. I’m honestly not being malicious. I take genuine delight in the fact that a blog named “One More Asshole” was inspired by a contentious comment thread.)

Number 1: Customary gratitude for the boost.Number 2: … oh, thank you, Activia.Number 3: Debate for debating’s sake seems masturbatory to me (stay with me on this). My time being at a premium, like anybody else’s, I debate to see my mind changed. I’m not looking for the most part to change minds, that’s up to other minds.Number 4: Coming in particular from an editor’s editor, the recommendation makes me blush.

Juniper, it’s even better than that. If you haven’t, check out his blogroll.
William, I’m not far off on arguing. Aside from the occasional nonsense argument (which I only inflict on willing friends), I’m generally arguing to test my ideas. Sometimes to force myself to get them into shape.An editor’s editor? Now who’s blushing?
