Gary Carson, Mason Malmuth, & Criticisms of Ed Miller

On Gary's blog he wrote, "...Ed’s an engineer."

Sort of. Ed Miller was a software engineer for a short period of time. He has two degrees, one in Electrical Engineering and one in Physics. But really, Ed Miller is a writer and teacher. His knowledge and talents run the gamut, but Miller's passion, as he's described it, is "learning and teaching." And he demonstrates a passion for writing.

Even still, Carson wrote,

"Now that I’ve just criticized the hell out of the post, it is a pretty good post and worth a read." [emphasis added]

On another subject, Gary Carson wrote, "Ed Miller has always supported Mason" in the comments over at Ed Miller's poker blog.

I wonder if Gary's criticisms of Ed have more to do with Gary's frustrations with Mason Malmuth than with anything truly related to Ed Miller. If so, Carson should note that Miller left two plus two and is no longer Mason's whipping boy or crony. (Seems that TT has taken on that role in Ed's absence.)

Why do I care? Well it's sad when someone can't differentiate between people. Mason Malmuth can't differentiate between Snyder and his wife, or Ed Miller and his wife. And Carson can't differentiate between Miller and Malmuth. It's just sad, particularly for people who make money by noticing subtle differences.

Ed Miller is respectful, polite, and cautious. He's unlikely to censor criticism no matter how undeserved. And he openly welcomes deserved, constructive criticism. Ed Miller is nothing like Mason Malmuth. The only thing they have in common is good fortune and success.
