What a manipulative little shit Dave Winer is. Not only is he wrong, not only does he slander WaSP members, (oh wait, it isn't slander, it is his opinion), he does an about face and sets Matt up as trying to turn around the WaSP and wishing him the best of luck.
Nowhere does Matt state that, in fact he wants to turn around the WaSP, or that it needs to be turned around and yet Dave is able to divine this all on his own and give himself another pat on the back for being so affirming as a human being and wishing Matt well. Aside from 'inventing' RSS he appears to have invented ESP too and while being smarmy might predate Dave Winer, he certainly takes ownership of it on a whole new level.
This was precipitated by Winer kissing Scoble's ass because Scoble can't handle being shunned. Scoble is supposed to be Microsoft's "out there" dude. He's nice and cuddly on the outside, but really he serves' as Microsoft's thought police and information czar. If you come too close to creating a bad buzz about Microsoft he steps in and creates anti-buzz to diffuse the situation. This appears to be a man who so thoroughly sold his soul to the corporation that his grand-children will be making residuals everytime somebody prays and mentions evil or 'The Devil'.
Go ahead and read the Scobelizers original posting, pure bullshit as it is, and read The Head Lemur's response.
