I won't deny Miguel made it controversial.  But I've still seen the press
create controversy when it didn't have to.

Actually, I'm somewhat surprised with LWN.  Generally, LWN makes the most
reasonable editorials I have yet encountered.  I respect them
especially for good journalism.  I just felt that there was a tad too much
yellow journalism in this issue for my taste.

I'm not so much pro-Miguel as I'm anti-press. :-) I just hate seeing
people being mis-stated regardless of the person.
