On tone

I figured Saturday's USMNT game would have people telling me that I didn't know what I was talking about Saturday, but instead I'm called on to defend my association with BigSoccer blogger "tone". Richard Whittall, who didn't like my praise for Aaron Stollar's hammering of Kartik Krisnaiyer, and apparently doesn't like BigSoccer, starts by lumping Dan, Bill and Stollar into the same ideological camp, praises their writing, and then accuses them of sucky rhetoric:

Chances are, if you're a big time blogger and you write about MLS, and you think there is a lot of room to improve the league, expect a forceful rebuttal from any one of the above.
