>The New York Times wants to out the author of a blog that is one of the few sites for reasoned argument

I haven't finished the article, and I probably agree that whoever this is shouldn't be "outed", but no person making a good-faith defense of another person would use such a petty, elitist, gate-keeping line. This reeks of social-political side-taking.

You have to read the blog to get it. Reasoned argument is its foundation, if your and in good faith people will engage you. The author would say he's dogmatic about 2 things and one is niceness.

It's not elitist. It's as undetailed, straightforward, nonpolitical description of the blog that you will get.
