It seems each week some throwaway line by Matt Cutts or a mysterious rumour sends all the SEO blogs into overdrive as thousands of paragraphs are unleashed to thoroughly dissect and debate the news before anything is even clear.
Although I'm relatively new to the world of SEO, online marketing, copywriting and blogs, I have been quick to read as many blogs, news feeds and bookmarking sites as possible in order to determine the best strategies for me to employ. As an outsider looking in, I have noticed a deep paranoia and nervous twitchiness pervading many SEO practitioners

I think the point of arguing over the 'Us vs Google' situation enables us to hear more than our own voice.
(Sam is gonna love this one) Controversy births thought and new ideas for solution. It's all useful and not 'antoagonistic' in the least. It keeps the juices flowing.
(Unless of course you ARE SamFreedom and already have the answers.) Then it may be fairly dull. (couldn't help myself)
My point is that sometimes the debate is more about filling blog posts and generating link buzz than about finding new solutions. By leaping onto the subdomain story before there was any real information meant the debate was factually deficient and based on rumour and conspiracy.
Attacking Google always makes good linkbait so I don't expect the practice to stop.
