Zed Shaw: The Simplest Possible Explanation
A bunch of otherwise nice people apparently dislike Zed Shaw and call him names to his face. I have not met the man but am myself am acquainted with a number of people who are also otherwise nice people but who, having encountered Mr Shaw in the flesh, are inexplicably given over to calling him unpleasant names, though not generally to his face. I humbly posit the following, contra Zed: The simplest possible explanation for this phenomenon is not that everyone Zed Shaw meets is a jerk.
