Yay! I’ve gotten some feedback about comments I made in the this thread. The blog seems to be devoted to, well, firing Megan McArdle (I’m more in favor of firing Joe Morgan myself, but I do applaud the passion behind this sort of thing either way, just on general principle
) so do click on over to Fire Megan McArdle and read what they have to say, and if you’re Megan McArdle’s boss, maybe they will even convince you, with their blog, to do just that.
P.S. I have no particular response to their criticism of my comment because, I am sad to report, it is devoted to arguing against things I did not say and a rebuttal to the things I actually did say does not seem to have been attempted. Pity. I like arguments.
UPDATE 2/6: You can see me tangle with them here. The context is their vicious, substantive charge against Megan McArdle that she is - gasp - and I quote - “not an econo-blogger”. (That is brad’s ongoing “thesis”, you see.) Tough stuff. They really know how to go for the capillary over at Fire Megan McArdle, don’t they?
