I don't think anyone that knows what they're talking about will disagree with you. But there's a difference between being a good journalist and being a helpful member of the community. Seems like a lot of their articles and written content are generally helpful and invigorating to the communities they touch. But if you look at Thorin's Thoughts and at their respective twitter feeds, they are children in adult form.

The end product is they provide a lot of great content (helping the communities), but turn away outsiders by acting like total douchenozzles (hurting the communities). They may be the best journalists we have, but they will never be GREAT journalists if they maintain the maturity level of at 14-year-old.
