Well, Dave Winer has a tendency to spout off (or is it spew) and then when you challenge him on it, get huffy, and rather than just not follow, he blocks.

I have twittered about this a bit… what is it about people (apparently mostly the far left) that they can’t stand counter views, and they must BLOCK people?

Ah well. Blocking simply means he keeps us from hearing his views. And I thought the best way to convince others was to show them the wisdom of your ways.

My differences with Dave Winer are massive… much more than what the public sees. However, this is not the place for it.

Ahh, should have used your search before making my earlier comment. So Dave blocked you on Twitter and you aren’t linking him any more ever out of spite is that it? http://technosailor.com/2008/05/24/the-mind-of-dave-winer/

Or is there more?

Always sucks to see a good python app die…

On another note, can you add Valley Wag to the list of sites you don’t link to? That was a pretty crappy post they put up.

“… left unlinked because our policy is not to link to Dave Winer.”
Is this a joke?

If not, then why is this your policy? Some sort of history with Dave that you won’t even link to your own posts explaining? Seems like a cheap shot without context — assuming it’s not a joke.
