I agree. But ...

Again, I agree that no magazine would print an article like that or a
rebuttal to it, either.  Their objective is to do this as low key as
possible, so as not to offend any readers and keep discussion to a minimum.

With this posting, you are actually adding FUEL to this now PUBLIC situtation
by saying "I know the OTHER side of the story.  But I am not going to tell
you, so there."

The *logical* thing for you to do would have been to either: (1) post a
summary of the DDJ response or (2) never have posted to begin with.

Yes, I feel *so* much better now that I know there are two sides to every
story.  That will certainly be a shock to us dumb net users; combine that
with the *actual* rebuttal would certainly give us all coronaries....
