San Francisco design pundit Sally Kuchar of Sally TV has posted her piece on the design debate sparked by NYT writer Michael Cannell’s recent op-ed on the subject; Design Observer ran maven Murray Moss’s retort several days later, and it was on.
Derailing the conversation off of its one-way track toward tedium, Sally has posted a series of screen grabs from “IMversations” (as I like to call them) with a motley crew of friends, ranging from IT guys to her mom. Debate team, cut-and-paste style. Says Sally:

So as I poured myself a double Hendrick’s and tonic I wondered what I could offer to the conversation and figured “what the hell” I’d just ask random friends who were available for a quick chat on the internet. I’d ask some of them to read the article and the rebuttals. I’d ask others what they thought about design, generally speaking. Most importantly, I just wanted to know what a bunch of random people who were signed onto my buddy list at the moment thought.
