Talk:Jon Katz

message: Where is he now, btw?
: He's writing dog books. Given that he's been doing that for five years (the snarky "this got him canned" above actually points to an article about a dog book), I'm a little surprised nobody's ever answered that question before. I added a short section on his post-Slashdot writing. As notorious as his Slashdot contributions might be to internet nerds, it's not really fair to the man to make it look like his career highlight was being mocked for a breathless, bombastic writing style on a tech culture news site. 128.107.253.44 18:31, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Where?

message: In regard to the criticism at Bordercollie.org: 
In the same way that Slashdot is not representative of the entire Geek community, the forums at Borderdercollie.org are not representative of the entire Border Collie community.  It is therefore more accurate to say that some, or many, or even the majority of commentors on boardercollie.org's forums found fault with Katz's writings than it is to say that he was rejected by the entire boarder collie community.  It's fine to add more detail about the criticism, but inaccurate to characterize one forum as the entire community of boarder collie enthusiasts. Lenordbater 18:39, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I think journalist and author is clearer than journalist and writer, somewhat redundant I thought. 
As to pundit, the link shows the usage of this word tending towards derogation and thus not NPOV. As far as punditry, can one have a career in punditry? The meaning is unclear and I think not formal enough for an encyclodpedia. -killing sparrows 06:22, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

message: The title Running to the Mountain is listed in 2 categories with 2 different subtitles.  Different books, or just different editions?

message: Wow, this man's controversy section is longer than that of Henry Kissinger. Anyway, "controversies" mentioned seem to me rather banal: some people didn't like something the man did. So what? Isn't that perfectly normal with any writer, journalist or public person in general. I sense there's an attempt to discredit him (and, frankly, if that is all the slanderers have on him, the man must be a saint).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.74.239.147 (talk) 10:47, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
