Passive Voice ≠ Weak Writing

Gruber, Gruber, Gruber… First the whole Intel sticker debacle and now this. You certainly are a lover of (the possibility of a) scandal.

The article you link to on passive writing does, indeed, state that there is a place for the passive voice. It certainly does not equate it to “weak” writing.

I mean I understand you are a great lover of the Mac and that you value, with immense intensity, the indie Mac developer community. I understand that you are a great defender of said community’s honor as well but it’s starting to sound like too many people are on the verge of being the JOTW for just the slightest of slights (if I may) or even the perception, however misguided, of there being even a sliver of disrespect towards the Mac communty.

I love DF. It’s my first stop on the pipes nearly every day. I just thought I would let you know that I am sensing a bit of arrogance creeping in. Be careful.
