I don't know if Steve actually said this, or if he deleted it after saying it. It's not on his Twitter account. He was one of the people I'd like to be friends with again, but I won't as long as he's helping promote the pain. If this is real, I can see that isn't likely to happen too soon. - Dave Winer
when did the H get dropped from his last name? - Jeff Quinton
Just FYI, I use the block command in FriendFeed, liberally. When someone is abusive, I block them without a second thought. - Dave Winer
You guys just need to meet face-to-face and hug it out. - Mike Doeff
this crap needs to stop already gees... ok... guys... go out for a drink together and deal with it - Susan Beebe
Susan the crap about the crap having to stop has to stop already! (That's satire, protected under the First Amendment.) Seriously, the people who get in the middle and tell people to shut up are being ridiculous and self-contradictory. If your goal is silence, then start with yourself and STFU. - Dave Winer
It seems to me that he wasn't saying that it's laughable that you're lecturing tech blogosphere about grownups, but rather sharing with you the opinion that it's laughable for anyone to do it. I hope that helps. - Richard Shulman
Dave Winer continues to whine like a schoolgirl. Dave why don't you quit complaining, and take action? Do something to further your agenda as opposed to crying about it online. - Granteezy
Really, David? You don't say... I never took you for a blocking type. - Aaron Brazell
Look the idiot who started this crap is Loren Feldman! He criticizes people but when someone criticizes him he blocks them. Fuck Loren and the pot he shits in. Maybe he is blogging from under the bridge right now juiced in to some police Wi-Fi. LMAO - Igor The Troll
Oh and Gilmore tell Loren he can suck my Dick. If I go after him, he will be history. Just ask Mat Cutts and Adam Lasnik. I do not forget and I do not give up. And I can afford it. It is my hobby! lol - Igor The Troll
nice tip Dave Winer. should we all block Dave then :D - DC Crowley via twhirl
dave simply blocks ppl for disagreeing with him, not only for being abusive. for someone who's that abrasive and, ahem, vocal, it seems he has the thinnest skin around. just an observation. maybe we can take a break from the antagonism for a while. dunno. sometimes i too get focused on being adversarial, even if it's just for the sake of humor. - Wolfsbayne
Wolfsbayne, if you're so smart -- why haven't I blocked you? - Dave Winer
be very careful @stevegillmor... @DaveWiner might unblock you! ;-) - Jason Calacanis
@davewiner you did block me on twitter simply for telling you that "your berkeley was showing" in response to one of your political rants. http://twitter.com/wolfsbayne/... - Wolfsbayne
I sure wish Twitter would fix IM and Track. Or I wish FriendFeed would build those features in. Sigh. - Robert Scoble
you can't use Track in anything but IM right? (that is, you can't use it in Twhirl and other similar clients) - Chris Dahl
I'm trying out twitterspy... add twitterspy@jabber.org in your IM client and type 'help' - Ryan Junee via Alert Thingy
I think that xmpp could be the newaggregator if only twitter & FF played nicely, we would only need 1 client - Alan Wood via twhirl
Chris Dahl track also works with SMS or at least it did. I agree with Robert, I wish there was a place I could get track going again be it twitter or FF I don't care. - Jeremy Kunz
Noah, pizza with Lettuce and Peanut butter, with a dose of cloud hosting, like that article in the NY Times 422 days ago, you remember, right? - Duncan Riley
you lost me @DuncanRiley. that was supposed to be gross? u don't know foul. you are not a jedi yet. nytimes is foul by nature - Noah David Simon
It has been interesting to listen to the evolution of Steve's comments around FriendFeed on the Gillmor Gang. Love the show BTW... - Jordan
"A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines." -- Emerson - Ken Sheppardson
For those confused about the rules, hating MS = "authentic," liking MS = "shrill" - Karim
Seems understandable that softies who like it at MSFT are cranky about all the cred that Google gets as a beautiful employer - Dennis E. Hamilton via twhirl
Re: Steve Gillmor, linking to FF - on the 06.30 NewsGang Live podcast he talks quite a bit about FF, including some interesting discussion about the challenges of carrying on a distributed conversation between Twitter and FF. I don't think he hates it as much as people think. A lot of that was just pushing people's buttons. - Mike Doeff
