Because you didn't just leave quietly, you needed to make sure that everyone who was on FriendFeed understood that you were leaving because we were losers. So I lashed back. - Robert Scoble

Lots of people call FriendFeed names. That's nothing new and I didn't key in on any of them. Just search Twitter for hundreds of examples. - Robert Scoble

But when you delete my work when you leave, then you are a jerk. And when you deride my community as lame as you leave, then you are a jerk. - Robert Scoble

Technosailor wrote that the content was his to delete. No, my comments are NOT his to delete. At least not without being a jerk. - Robert Scoble

http://twitter.com/technos... to see his side of it. - Robert Scoble

blah. who cares? - Paul Whitaker

I think it illustrates the point of realtime perfectly. - Marlin Forbes

Probably shouldn't have this discussion where the other party can't have a say. - Andru Edwards

Robert stop wasting your time on a low life like him. You have better things to do. - Matt Ruiz

Paul: if you don't care, why did you comment? :-) - Robert Scoble

Matt: agreed. - Robert Scoble

Bum deal on the video feed, scoble. - Marlin Forbes

Andru: he's having his say. I even linked to it. - Robert Scoble

Marlin: yeah, oh well. It was going to be lame probably anyway. - Robert Scoble

Matt: do you have your pitchfork? - Robert Scoble

Grab the torches and pitchforks! - Raymond Mendoza

I wasn't the one who started calling names here. - Robert Scoble

Nah, save them for when Arrington is back. - Robert Scoble

It's exactly this sort of thing that starts mobs. People want to have their name up on the page. - Marlin Forbes

lol @ "when Arrington is back" - Raymond Mendoza

I've got my torch and pitchfork! :D - mandi

Kindergarten2.0 in real-time - HansVanRock

Hans: lol - Marlin Forbes

Hans: It's High School 2.0, I haven't called anyone a stinky-poopyhead, yet. - Raymond Mendoza

Hans: keep your hands off of my toys. :-) - Robert Scoble

No, it's real-time Kindergarten, stinky-poopyhead! << for Raymond - Nick Wade

I never knew of that other guy until this thread. Wonder if his twitter follower numbers went up after this? - Jim Connolly

And my line has been stolen... I know I should have copyright'd it. - Raymond Mendoza

Well, I'm outta here. Jim: yes, they went up. Why? Bots and spammers. Everyone's numbers are going up. - Robert Scoble

It's been fun - catch you around Mr Scoble ;-) - Jim Connolly

Actually, we need College Humour to do a FriendFeed spoof - Marlin Forbes

shudder - Marlin Forbes

Nice mob you got here, Robert ;) - Sean E Brown

If you missed the original announcement/comment thread in question and know English or Greek, you can judge for yourself how it went down (see attached PDF here: http://friendfeed.com/micahwi... ) - Micah

I'm taking my ball and going home... - Alex Esplin

Robert. Cambridge needs you. Great that you are here again. Enjoy. - Philip Baddeley from iPhone

Well Robert, I guess you should get FriendFeed to do what Twitter did and make all of your comments belong to you rather than the person who's post you commented on. - ChiliMac

Jim: No doubt the followers went up...SPAM! @technosailor, @technosailor, @technosailor... - Austin Smith

And @Scobleizer...life's too short...my vote is that once content is either posted or commented, it becomes public domain, much like, you know, EVERYTHING ELSE on the internet! Wat u guys think? - Austin Smith

No "EVERYTHING ELSE" is not assumed to be in the Public Domain just because it "ends up" on the internet. If that were true then there would be ZERO lawsuits regarding copyright infringement over things "ALL OVER THE INTERNET". ((c))2009+ by "ME" - CLC Radio

So, like Yo @everybodyontwitter get that? - CLC Radio

I don't want to comment on this just to get my name on the page. That would be childish. - Mark Drapeau

Can I be in the mob too please? Is it too late? I want to be in the mob!! Hello!! - Dave Winer

hmmm. watch this. - Brian Daniel Eisenberg

This seems to be a community policy/software issue. Most communities don't allow folks to delete comments and posts because it leaves a hole/gap in the conversations. The profile is marked inactive when someone leaves the community - either leaving the user name intact or replacing it with a more generic one. The right to delete a user account should be a personal one, with no obligation to anyone else, for such decisions. Side note: "People will love you. People will hate you and none of it has anything to do with you." Esther Hicks - Pat Graham Block
