Will Publishing Pundits 'Get It' In Time?

Last week, the interwebs were abuzz with a couple of rants by agents on why writers suck. (And no, I won't link to them. It'll just raise your blood pressure until your head explodes. If you really want to know, go visit The Passive Voice.)

Here's a positive post by Jonny Geller. Thanks, Jonny, for the acknowledgement of what writers bring to the table, and mucho gracias to Patrice Fitzgerald for the link.

The real question is--will publishers and agents learn that alienating writers will not keep them in business before their businesses totally collapse?
