"LOL... Oh if he doesn't flat out say you're bought off, he'll just keep insinuating the idea. Because SXSW didn't make him a speaker, he suggested there must be a payoff behind this (!) http://www.scripting.com/stories...... . Of course he's floated the idea that Techmeme is payed off, naturally by Arrington http://www.scripting.com/stories...... Winer's targets usually don't bother responding to him these days (I rarely do), but it's probably good to point out these scummy smear tactics once in a while. For the newbies." - Gabe Rivera
