Do you think he was nice to Marissa Mayer in his post?
- MartinCron 13y agoDo you think that absolves you from being nice to him?
- danilocampos 13y agoAbsolutely. Live by the sword, etc. And I feel the same applies to me. I heard many candid responses. Didn't agree with all of them. Learned from some. Which is the way it's supposed to work.
- MartinCron 13y agoAnother person's transgressions doesn't absolve you from being civil in response. That's what civilization means. It's not always easy, but it's an ideal we should hold ourselves to if we want our community to be a place worth spending time.
- davewiner 13y agoWhat transgressions? It was just a story! You guys are amazing to me, how you can inflate something as simple as a story into this monumental thing. I wrote the piece in 15 minutes. You're spending 48 hours debating every nuance of something that means nothing. Totally bizarre.
- MartinCron 13y agoSorry Dave, this is bigger than just you :) I care about being a part of a community that doesn't let the escalation of (real and perceived) slights debase the overall conversation. That's what I'm talking about. You spent 15 minutes on a story, I've spent the last few years trying to be a constructive part of this community.
- davewiner 13y agoOkay that's cool. It's just that you said some things about me that are wrong. You seem like a nice person. Just know that I'm not who you think I am. I get this all the time. When people hear how I talk they're suprised because it's not the voice they hear when they read my writing. But I write just the way I talk. Funny how that is. ;-)
- MartinCron 13y agoI am a nice person, and I didn't actually say anything negative about you. I meant "transgressions" in a purely hypothetical way. Trying to make the point that now matter how pompous some blogger is, we should all be civil to each other here. Don't mind me, I am just holding back the tide.

- davewiner 13y agoI certainly wasn't un-nice to her. Just told a story.
