Previously, I ranted a bit about WIE’s featured article on the New Atheists. It was a pleasant surprise that I got a response from WIE writers — Carter (one of the authors of the article) and Tom.
Tom
said: "We’ve received a few letters criticizing our “view from
15,000ft” take on the new atheists, but to be honest, that’s all it was
ever meant to be, which is why we called it a “field guide” on the
cover and in the ToC blurb – and an “entertaining” one at that! 
"
Good
point. In fairness to WIE, I did get the impression that the featured
article was not meant as a detailed take on the New Atheists. But that
was partly the reason for my disappointment. I’ve been wanting to see a
more integral take on the New Atheists and I was expecting it from WIE
(e.g. the excellent WIE issue on the Evolution Debate). Maybe in future issues? 
See the comment thread on my Gaia blog for the rest of the discussion.
Thanks to Carter and Tom for their time and attention.
