Chris Clark on the Progressive Marshmallow Consensus

http://faultline.org/index.php/site/comments/resignation_an_open_letter_to_the_progressive_blogosphere/

Chris could not have put into better words what I have been pondering about this thing called "the netroots" or "the progressive blogosphere".

As Kevin said, the Progressive Marshmallow Consensus did it for me.

Go read the whole damn thing. It is so rare I give 5 stars to anything but this post is flawless!

Words to live by So, for now, I guess Iâ€™d have to wear the â€œanything goesâ€ badge. I do find disquieting the social pressure to get on board with this program. Tim Oâ€™Reilly is a guy who really can affect oneâ€™s career online (and off, too). I do have to admit that I feel some pressure just to get on board here and that makes me feel very uneasy.
