At the risk of sounding facetious, I suspect that the best photogs are doing photography rather than talking about it. We seem to be in an era of mighty winds, no matter the subject on the worldy wide interweb! lol
I don't mind Hogan so much. I often disagree with him, but I find he generally reasons his way to a position. Plus, he actually makes some decent photographs.
Huff is a classic headline traffic grabber. Good for him I suppose. For me though, he is no voice of authority. I would also say that I find his use of text shorthand (such as IMO) within posts really sad.
I've read many comments on camera forums (including this one!) by individuals pronouncing a camera that they have never seen or handled as "awesome" - or of course, "crap" - why shouldn't Ken Rockwell do so and get paid for it?
Come to think of it, that may be why people get so up-in-arms about him - income-envy
I think Thom Hogan makes a lot of sense most of the time, Steve Huff has a style I don't particularly care for but I don't find him offensive or anything. Rockwell is just such an utter idiot that I refuse to click on his website and give him more traffic, I just ignore him and everything he says.
LoL, Ken is silly.

I don't think so. In my opinion he isn't less clever than Thom Hogen, Steve Huff, LLoyd Chambers and all the other gurus on the web. By the way, read his About page. He is very honest in what he is doing and he can live by doing that. One has to like his humor, though.
I don't consider this as the kind of writing I want to read here.
on your "about" page does not make it any more acceptable, it just proves why people should just ignore him.I enjoy making things up for fun
