This is totally off BKW topic, and I apologise if you are not aware of the issue that’s circulating.  Normal programming will resume. 

Blogging is bigger than all of this, and the death threat story (no links provided deliberately) is something that rational people cannot tolerate. 

This is truly amazing … I cannot fathom this statement that follows.  Better to shut up.  We now we have Dave Winer, and Chris Locke … previously admired internet guru’s standing together on matters that no sane person would even consider. 

On this one, I take the side of the mean kids, because no one else is, and I have a soft spot for people who are being attacked by a mob, no matter how pathetic they are.

I somehow understand taking a moment to consider how one should react, but that’s not what this is.  Winer is now also off the list, forever.  In reading this comment, the “mob” is you ….  normal people who are disgusted by both the original statements, and the more so by the response.

This will be the last post on this stuff.  Back to banking, and I sincerely hop those who have been attacked, several of them, will be able to do the same.
