'Gruber even edits his posts without disclosing it. I saw him call Apple's decision to ban an app as a "nameless individual App Store reviewer" fault and not Apple's!'

The irony is that Gruber's fame originates from the outrage related to his app rejection.

Huh? Gruber's fame, such as it is, originates from the fact that for years he has been writing a blog filled with mostly-Apple-related stuff that lots of people (mostly Apple users) like reading. Daring Fireball has been a big noise in Apple-land since before there even was an App Store.

He also did Markdown.

I stand corrected. Thanks for the info. I came to know about the site after that app rejection. Thought the site came into light after that issue. My bad.

Gruber never had an app rejected and he doesn't have any apps in the AppStore. Are you sure you're thinking of the same site?

He's posted quite a lot about some App Store rejections. I expect some people first heard about him in that context.

Out of curiousity, which could somebody link to the post about app rejection?

No such post. Gruber hasn't suggested that he's submitted anything to the App Store. He has written several posts about others' rejected apps.
