I think that, if you're going to post such a terribly immature and defamatory comment, and presumably do so from some perspective of "I was involved with Digg, I'm an insider," you have to provide some personal basis for it.
I think Jay's a good guy. It isn't his fault that Eric Schmidt walked away from the acquisition. And it isn't his fault that Kevin Rose would use his power as "founder of Digg" to arbitrarily dictate strategy -- only to return to doing "cool" things worth tweeting about once he had turned everything upside down. You don't have to take my word for it -- Kevin's illustrious Twitter feed speaks for itself.
You really need to get over yourself. You were a contract programmer who happened to work on the right project. Comments such as these give others pause to ever want to work with you. Jay, on the other hand... He never talks about what it's like to work alongside a complete nightmare like Kevin Rose. Never says a bad thing about him, or about the executives who would choose Kevin's stupid ideas over Jay's wisdom. Jay never said anything bad about Google or Eric Schmidt, who clearly lead him down a blind alley before running away.
And no, I'm not a friend of Jay's, or a friend of Kevin's, or an employee of Digg. Guess that's true for you as well, huh?

- ojbyrne 16y agoI appreciate your criticism, and take it to heart, except for that one big word "defamatory." Everything I've mentioned above is documented in one place or another and not just "insiderish."
