Plenty of people hate on Gruber as well. Look at the HN comments for any of his posts, there's always someone calling him out.

My solution is not to read authors that I dislike. I find that it is 100% effective.

It is also 100% effective in losing your ability to think critically (see the TED talk about "filter bubbles").

I try to read authors that I disagree with but respect. A certain amount of bias filtering is inevitable, but I like to think that I at least try to listen to opposing viewpoints. Especially about issues that matter.

When dealing with issues that don't matter, like Apple fanboys, I find it easier just to ignore them.
