Winer’s Line in the Sand

July 26th, 2010, by The Angry Drunk

Taking a page from the play­book of John “mother of all tools” Dowdell, Dave Winer has declared that he will no longer tol­er­ate off-topic dis­cus­sion and mind­less Apple fan­boy­ism on his pre­cious blog. Of course, in Dave’s world “off-topic” means “doesn’t agree with my sage wis­dom” and “mind­less Apple fan­boy­ism” means “in any way approv­ing of Apple.”

Look Dave, we get it, peo­ple dis­agree­ing with you irri­tates you. I mean, good gods peo­ple, don’t you know who this is? This is Dave Winer. The “proto-blogger!” Having your nar­cis­sis­tic and ill-thought-out bull­shit pointed out to you must be ago­niz­ing. I’d sug­gest dis­pens­ing with com­ments entirely, but then how would you get your fix of syco­phan­tic cock-sucking? A man can’t live by his achieve­ments alone for fuck’s sake!

    In other news, “Sycophantic Cock-sucking” would make a great name for a rock band.

    Why do you even read Winer? Isn’t there already enough AMB mate­r­ial out there?

    I was shocked, SHOCKED, that Winer said Flipbook “was no ‘River of News.’”

    Meant “Flipboard,” of course.

    What winer wants is only peo­ple com­ment­ing that kiss his ass. In his per­fect world every­one bows and refer to him as ‘wise one’, com­pletely unaware that dave winer is a com­plete fuck­ing nut.

    Too bad the LOC rul­ing on jail­break­ing doesn’t apply to Winer’s wall gar­den o’ blog­ging as well. It’d feel very “sym­met­ri­cal” to me.

    I still think that ‘Fistful of Assholes’ is the sin­gle great­est name for a gay Rock or Metal band, for that mat­ter.
    I laughed myself to tears when this came up in ‘Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist’.

    The worst thing about fuck­wits like Winer and Dowdell; they actu­ally get money for spread­ing stupidity.

    Much like Jason Statham’s char­ac­ter in “Crank” I need a con­stant sup­ply of adren­a­line to keep func­tion­ing. Since I don’t have a ready sup­ply of Chinese gang­sters to kill or Amy Smart to for­ni­cate with, yelling at New Media Douchebags will have to do.

    mmmh, Amy Smart…

    Speaking for myself winer is the best enter­tain­ment you can have with­out pay­ing for it. I look for­ward to his slow but inescapable decent into insan­ity, cul­mi­nat­ing in his bar­ri­cad­ing him­self in a bunker and claim­ing soci­ety is out to get him.
