      <![CDATA[I've confessed my bias over and over again on Enclave, which is more than you've done at NCP. Blogs are supposed to be opinion-oriented; journalism claims not to be even as it at times trojan-horses subjective alliances with sources it is afraid to buck and to lose.

      <![CDATA[Again, it seems the pervasive attitude is if you are with neighborhood folks you are obviously against them.<br />
Mike, if you ask a few developers about how I "judge," you'd find a different viewpoint. Just ask Palmer, for example.

      <![CDATA[Well, at least you're not denying that you judge developers and neighborhood leaders with a skewed double standard (my primary point).<br />
And I wonder where the motivation for that comes from. Just as you compared neighborhood advocates to George Bush, I could compare you to an embedded journalist--caught up in the spin of the DoD at war--who never bothered to question the truth of what the powers-that-were fed.<br />
The differently applied standards yellow the objectivity of your journalism, in my opinion.

      <![CDATA[Actually, I'm going by my reading of your relevant NCP analysis. I am hard pressed to find any other attitude but latitude for developers (who seem to have honest limitations) and cynicism for neighborhood leaders (example:  neighborhood leaders merely oppose developers to piss the latter off; otherwise they don't have any honest beefs).

It's funny everyone is acting very Bush like. If you  don't state that you are for neighborhoods, you obviously are against them and therefore in favor of the developers.
