[...] Johanna has a good round up of the response to the recent Publisher Weekly Roundtable kerfuffle (I like that word) involving bad fact checking and typographical errors. [...]

Or maybe it’s just one of the dumber dustups on the comics web that’s only mildly interesting because the “adults” are involved and it’s always fun to see a little hypocrisy and public axe-grinding happen between them?

As for the roundtable itself, even the impersonal email versions can be made interesting with some focus and specific direction from the moderator; and it helps to have participants who are willing to offer candid responses. Brill was definitely too vague in his questioning, and I do think that PWCW should be held to a higher standard than Newsarama, et al.
