I thought this post from Ganesh Prasad was both cheeky and refreshing:

Though I like REST and consider it a very elegant model for SOA, it's a little tiresome to hear day in and day out that it's so much more elegant than the SOAP-based Web Services model. In fact, I'm getting so tired of this shrill posturing that I'm going to stick it to the RESTafarians right now, in their own style. Watch.

Paying the RESTafarians Back in Their Own Coin

I think I would get along well with Ganesh.
