Reading your current posts, knowing they are yours is much more discernible. With the last few weeks of FSJ, I was wondering if the post was your view, a Jobso satire, or a dryly subtle delivery of your opinion via a Jobso satire. You have great insights and it is interesting to hear direct from you.

To those who don’t like what they read here, “turn the dial”.

The bashers need to check out some war histories and see what typically happens to an army when a general goes down in battle. Honestly, if he were any other CEO (except Ballmer, perhaps) no one would give a crap. But he’s Steve Jobs, synonymous with Apple and its future. Life isn’t fair; he has a higher standard to maintain than others do if he wants things to continue to work.

Again, why the ambush? Why not have Katie Cotton do a press conference, release just enough details to gain him oodles of sympathy yet reassure everybody? It honestly wouldn’t be hard to spin it with some outrage at everybody prying into poor
Steve’s personal life, and he’d probably get left alone more than ever afterwards. It could, like some commenters have said, be a personality thing. But Jobs didn’t get where he’s gotten by doing the wrong thing at a crucial point in time, so I wonder. I suppose we’ll never really know why he did what he did, but it left me with more questions than answers, and obviously you as well.

That you are getting all this hate proves that Steve Jobs is an iconic figure, proves your point. I’m also laughing at all the people who assert it was okay for a fake person to be critical but not a real one. Gee, it’s okay or it’s not, and if it isn’t okay, why were you reading it in the first place?
