So This is the State of the WWWorld?
Ethan getting trounced for being, well Ethan? I only wish this were really true. Alas, I’m sure he’ll only last a few hours then be right back in the mix, talking to hear himself and playing marbles on the street corner like an eight year-old.
After everything else that happened at Gnomedex, it’s becoming blinding-clear that the A-listers and bigshots are desperately trying to stay relevant, when in reality there’s a new movement at play, and all the technology the once trumpeted is being used against them to decentralize their influence.
**Update** I’ve actually gained more respect for Dave Winer than I wanted or expected through this little fiasco, funny how that happens.
Ethan is getting trounced for being self-righteous, pretentious, and full of baloney. If that means he’s getting trounced for being Ethan, then so be it!
1389, you’re like crap that gets stuck on your shoe, just can’t seem to stop following…
I laugh out-loud when you say “self-righteous”, the garbage and nonsense you spew on your site, as some self-appointed potentate of neo-con values - self-righteous doesn’t begin to describe it.
You don’t even know what a neo-con is.
Ha, yeah educate me you about your hate, and add a few more buttons to your blog.
I’m not the hater here - just for starters, anybody can see that I don’t stoop to the level of discourse that you use.
My blog is not intended to educate those, like you, who are well indoctrinated with the requisite mental antibodies against facts and ideas that their peer group would ridicule them merely for having examined them. So don’t waste your time.
I forgot you relish the high-brow facade. Your attack on Ethan and his education were most certainly the patrician comments of a true cosmopolitan.
As the curtain falls it’s apparent you’re no neo-con after all, you’re a bitter scared woman still living in Kissinger’s America, as old-school conservative as it gets.
Neither bitter nor scared nor any fan of Kissinger, to put it mildly! You’re right about one detail: I’m an old-school conservative and proud of it! But I’m not going to keep coming back here, because I don’t want to keep driving traffic to your blog! In twenty or thirty years, if you and I are both still around, you’ll most likely see things my way, and I’m willing to wait around to see that.
