It’s not like we’ve lost the articles published to SSC so far. There are backups, and not just Scott’s. We can even link to some of them. The past SSC still exists.
What we’re losing is the future—The part that hasn’t been written yet. Scott has more to say and I want to hear it. SSC was my favorite blog. I am not alone in thinking this. Now it’s gone. Maybe just until the NYT blinks. Maybe forever. Or maybe only for years, but at a time when we desperately need voices of reason like Scott’s. And that is very sad and I feel bummed out about it.
This doesn’t have to be over. Scott has won some influential allies. I’m interested in how this all plays out.
