MacFixit and the climate of fear

To be honest, I have not frequented the Macintosh-oriented MacFixIt site since moving our business machines to OS X, and especially since the site founder, Ted Landau, left. MacFixIt's anecdotal based trouble-shooting style wore thin - I didn't learn much of practical use by visiting there anymore. However, I visited MacFixIt today, prior to a Leopard installation (scheduled for Monday or Tuesday of next week), and skimmed to see if they had reports of any interesting quirks with installation. This one item caught my eye (I don't think any of the 6 Macs I care for have a haxie installed, but wanted to refresh my memory as to where I'd find them to remove 'em if I needed to)

Remove APE haxies (ShapeShifer, etc.)
Another potential cause for this issue that shouldn't be shocking if you've routinely paid attention to MacFixIt: the presence of APE modules. Before installing Leopard, remove APE modules via this uninstall process.

However, to my great amusement, the link itself, instead of going to Unsanity, went to this anti-MacFixIt rant by the astute folks of MDJ/MWJ (a great Mac newsletter that I wish I could afford to subscribe to again).

Ever since founding editor Ted Landau sold MacFixIt years ago, the site has been on an increasingly shrill trajectory of fomenting fear and uncertainty about installing any software, largely in an attempt to instill in its readers an unnecessary dependency on the site's blessing before proceeding with, well, anything. The "be very afraid" subtext has always been clear in the current MacFixIt's installation "advice," but it's refreshing that the site has finally come out and said so, to remove any doubts.

The more afraid MacFixIt makes you of installing new software, the more often you'll check the site—and either view the ads or upgrade to a paid subscription—to see if it's "safe" to install yet. If you actually learn how things work and make your own judgments, you might break out of a fear-based dependency on MacFixIt, so the site does its best to prevent that from happening.

There's quite a lot more in that vein, but I wonder if the folks at Unsanity created a page re-direct? or some third party? The underlying URL is http://unsanity.com/support.php?vf=43 (which is a valid page at unsanity regarding removal of Application Enhancer) but every time I've clicked it this evening, it always ends up at MacJournals instead. I'm not sophisticated to investigate further, but I am tickled.
