I've seen a lot of bad writing online, even in reputable publications. But I've never seen ANYONE taunt their readers in comments like Steve Gillmor is doing now.
And I can say something like this since I'm the type of person that spends my weekends reading news and articles.
On the Business Insider, when readers ridicule Henry Blodget about his past, he responds politely with links and explanations about the accusations against him.
- schwabacher 16y agoHis taunts don't even make sense. It seems like he is taking offense to people criticizing his story anonymously, but the way he is asking people for their real names comes off as strange and kind of creepy. And, he isn't addressing any of the (IMO valid) complaints they have about his story.
- tomwalsham 16y agoI'm somehow reminded of this thread: http://news.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=646041&cid=24603867 http://news.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=646041&cid=2460... Strange things happen in organizations with a lot of top-down control over people who are attempting to create within their own boundaries. Bear in mind Paul Carr's "Stunt Resignation" post of earlier: http://techcrunch.com/2011/02/19/aol-way-or-the-highway/ http://techcrunch.com/2011/02/19/aol-way-or-the-highway/ Also perhaps some oddly-referential Quora reference? http://techcrunch.com/2011/02/14/quora-to-oddly-named-users-papers-please/ http://techcrunch.com/2011/02/14/quora-to-oddly-named-users-...
