I don't have a dog in this fight, I'm just curious.
Kos seems to have pissed off a number of his readers in the past few months with battles over feminism, pacifism, abortion-rights, and now Garrison Keillor (!?!)
There's no doubt that Kos has built a great community here, and I suspect that the "community" - from the headlined bloggers to the diaries and comments - is the reason most of us come.
Kos's writing itself seems to me to be a bit hit-or-miss. Sometimes, he's right on target and expresses himself with pith and force. Sometimes he's mostly right, but a bit off-key. Sometimes, he's completely off the map. I tend to read whatever he writes with a pretty big grain of salt - he's not a Billmon, Digby, or Wolcott - who are always worth reading, write with flair, and think out what they're saying to its final conclusion. But, to his credit, he's built something unique and great here, and that takes a genius of its own, which is a far different - and necessary - talent.
Anyway, take the poll - I'm curious about what the people on this site think.
