I leave it to you to determine which:  DF or Paul Graham?

:)

Do I have to chose?

Uh, yeah..."proof".

It makes me warm to my heart to imagine your desperately view sourcing to find an anchor tag just to try to spread a little hate.

One name for you:  Trevor Blackwell.  Between the two, who is the smarter person.

BTW: I renounce my prior post. I see now that you didn't have to find the anchor tag yourself. I didn't realize that such an inane comment would get any attention.

Odd.

Yeah it is at the top of Reddit.

Congrats.  You've made a PUBLIC fool of yourself :)

I'm really just kidding.  Don't be so bitter.

I would not have posted it here if it wasn't at the top of Reddit, glaringly obvious, for all to see anyway.

Either people here will support you or they won't.

"Either people here will support you or they won't."

What I mean by that is your "friends" here should post in your defense if so inclined.

>What I mean by that is your "friends" here should post in your defense if so inclined.

Why would I need anyone post in my defense? Defense of what? Made a fool of?

Huh?

I criticized a herd mentality, and the cheapness of moderation on Reddit. spez, ever speztic to jump to conclusions, took the title of a third party's submission and then incorrectly claimed that I said something that it's painfully clear that I didn't (conspiracy theories? Uh...I specifically targeted USERS, not the operators of Reddit. There is no conspiracy theory or smear of spez, which is immediately clear to anyone).

Sorry, I really don't feel that "made a fool of".

DF is on reddit?  cool.  link?

Ill defend DF if its necessary.  the JoS one seems like a perfectly reasonable thread, and he made some good points.

its not that I dont consider DF rabidly insane you understand, its just that in this particular case he hasn't said anything wrong.

Forbes IS utterly insane, but every so often he makes a good point.

I was trying to be nice.

Fuck off.

And it shows.

You do heave that word 'fuck' and that phrase 'fuck off' around an awful lot.  It's hilarious that you think they mean anything.

LOL

"Well he could be lying, but if you read Dennis' blog ( http://www.yafla.com/dforbes/ ) you'll see he's a generally reasonable guy."

someone should sue DF for false representation of material facts.

Heh, yeah I got a bit of a chuckle seeing that.

Ultimately it's a rather ridiculous thread, and really it's just a "rage against the machine" type thing (not by me -- I just made an offhanded comment because really I do think that a lot of the stuff that Graham spouts is shat, and I didn't want to be grouped in with his fanboyz -- by but Redditors fighting corporate control, or whatever. Who knows).

>I was trying to be nice.

I apologize then. We have a history that obvious leads me to make assumptions that aren't always valid (as you do with my posts). I apologize for reading it wrong, but without smiley's and the like, it's hard to discern.

Moderation blocked DFs IP from reddit?  could we get that system for CoT?

Why, bob? To block's DF's IP address?

Why you gotta hate on DF, bob?

Don't hate the playa, bob, hate the game!
