I’ve always been a fan of tech writer/geek Rogers Cadenhead, and not just because he bought me a Salon.Com subscription.
But when he rescued Dave Winer from the Weblogs.Com fiasco and then went to be part of the RSS Advisory Board back in 2003/2004, anyone who has followed the Winer train wreck knew that at some point this would result in Winer pissing all over Cadenhead for trying to help. Winer can’t help it — it’s just who he is. If he’s not irrationally turning on people, he’s just not Dave.
And sure enough, along with fighting an online jihad against Cadenhead and others who *gasp* want to clarify ambiguities in RSS, Winer has sicced his lawyers on Cadenhead.
Its almost like Winer plays nice with people like Cadenhead for awhile just so he has a consistent supply of people to backstab and attack on Scripting News.
