AntiSocialMedia.net by Judd Bagley

It’s been one year since the launch of AntiSocialMedia.net, and what better way to start another year than asking those who’ve publicly assailed the accuracy of our reporting to offer suggestions on how to improve?Over two days I’ve sent email to this blog’s harshest critics, asking each to favor me with a specific instance of [...]

As much as everybody seeks after the easy win, there’s also a unique sense of satisfaction to be found in confronting a truly worthy opponent.

Let’s start by re-stating three key facts as established in Part One.
