Could we possibly, as a community, just agree that a blacklist of Gruber posts is good for us?
If I am to be considered to be part of that community then no, I can't agree with that. I actually like quite a lot the way he writes even if I don't agree with him most of the time.
In fact, I think the community has already agreed that they like Daring Fireball posts, otherwise it wouldn't be on the front page.
We can agree, though, to spend more time in /newest and complain less about what makes to the front page.
DF is an evangelist for the Apple religion, so he reliably brings out the true believers. This stuff might be entertaining but it's certainly not informative. BTW, this is part of the diabolical genius of Apple - it is not a consumer choice, it is belief system.
