That’s odd. Today Dave Winer wrote an entry that began, “Mark Pilgrim sent an email on Tuesday saying that he now has his own wiener boys, and he “gets it.” The very next entry in his weblog was a single sentence, “Brian Carnell is a wiener boy par excellence.”
Then he went back and deleted it. Oy.
Hey, I wasn’t offended by it. I mean, I’ve got an entire page full of posts about him.
Quite a few people have said that they simply ignore Winer now and that nothing he says is relevant. Personally, I still think Winer has a lot of great ideas. I also think he’s erratic, unpredictable and more than a little mean.
Great software, lousy interpersonal skills.
