It’s both sad and believable when I hear that Boz is the most sane of them all.

Boz is such a grifter in his online content. He naturally weasel words every little point and while I have no doubt he’s smart, I don’t think I could trust him to provide an honest opinion publicly.

My friends at meta tend to not hold him in the highest esteem but echo largely what you said about the politics and his standing amongst them.
