I'd like to make an observation here too...
First, that is a flaw of human nature. It happens right here in this forum and at dealmac as well. It applies to anybody who regularly posts, blogs, writes or otherwise publicly communicates. It's not just analysts. Nothing new under that sun.
Second, agreeing with Dvorak or calling him dead on does not constitute lauding him. One can dislike him yet still occasionally agree with points he makes. Posting or commenting on someone's comments is not lauding.
Some of the statements analysts make are based on and supported by fact. Others are not. If we assume that constitutes being correct and incorrect (while acknowledging and differentiating from personal opinion) then we *can* agree or disagree without lauding the speaker.
Previously, Dvorak was quoted in here as disliking the Mac because of the way it saves files. His choice, but I find that silly at best. I think he even admits that it's odd. Many of his statements over the years have been strictly Mac bashing, just more articulate than others, but still less than objective.
I like listening to him on TwiT, because there is usually somebody to keep him in line, in particular- Patrick Norton.
I posted Dvorak's comment and a link because it is rare that he praises Apple. I've done so before and will probably do so again.
I came to post about Dvorak, not to praise or bury him.
Or laud.
