When in doubt, always remember that John C. Dvorak is a complete jackass.

Please don't attack the messenger, even for a bad story.

Unless you have proof that Dvorak was purposely lying, slandering him doesn't make your case any better.

After all, if he screws this one up, he's going to have a very hard time getting respectability and credibility for future articles. That punishment is enough.

This is not the first time he "screwed up".

Then politely point out the times he did beforehand. Did he not do enough research and make a politically-charged article in the past? Then that's germane to the conversation. We'd like to hear about it.

But calling somebody a jackass is not.

Yeah, let's not forget this is the guy we're talking about:

It takes more than one bad story to establish yourself as a complete jackass. Dvorak finished the necessary legwork for that designation years ago.

I hear you, but Dvorak did publish a slander against Kundra based simply on his rudimentary queries. This is hardly good journalism.

from the article: "But I was able to verify Kundra's degree with just a few phone calls in under two hours."

If your going to publish something so incendiary, you really must do your homework.

Sorry to ask the obvious question, but who cares? IS Programs (even the top ones) aren't the most rigorous things in the world. Anyone who is in a CIO type position should probably have real world experience, professional degrees be damned. Why aren't we talking about that instead?
