Pot calls kettle black
By Tom Smith
John Holbo (via
Volokh) complains of lack of style in the blogosphere. Having found myself unable to get through an entire
post of his even though it was about me, I know what he means. Rule of style number one: Just because you find it fascinating to write something, doesn't mean it's going to be fascinating to read. There are other rules, but that one is a good start. OK, one more. Shorter is better than longer, which in turn is not as good as shorter, that being the one which is better than longer, which I think I mentioned, like Plato, I agree is worse. Longer that is.
