Craig,

It would be nice to think that Dave has a severe case of multiple personality disorder and one of them is so logical, concise and articulate. I wouldn't think of trying to argue with that Dave. I'd certainly loose to the superior intellect and his grasp of reasoned debate.

I think we need an Eye on Eye on Winer blog... maybe the real Dave will start one.

Wouldn’t it be too cool like some 80s scifi if EOW was actually Dave criticizing himself you know his alter ego that really does feel bad for flying off the handle so quickly on so many things.

Wow. I’d do a lot to get that setup. Unfortunately I don’t think there’s anything I could do that’d convince him to do that. He does too good of a job of avoiding people who ask him difficult questions to allow himself to be interviewed by someone who doesn’t worship him.

I just wanted to say that a Live Eye On Winer Chat with Dave Winer would be the coolest thing EVER! That would make my decade.

A reminder: do not post under a pseudonym on any blog or website comments that are under dave’s control. He has been known to track people down by their IP addresses. He also has been known to edit other peoples’ words to make them look bad. So don’t ever give dave control over your words, post here on EOW or anywhere else BUT a winer-controlled server.

I wouldn't have made the offer if I thought it was something he could actually do. If my assumption -- that my identity is irrelevant -- is valid, then I'll remain anonymous. If it's not, then I shouldn't remain anonymous. This is a just and fair compromise.

Besides, the anonymity is more for my own convenience. I'm not worried about libel. That would be a mistake that Mr. Winer would only make once.

Don’t play Dave’s game. He wants your identity so he can slander you on his blog, try to get you fired and do everything else he can to discourage you from taking him on. The issue has nothing to do with whether you’re believable or not. He just hates that he can’t find a way to bully you until he knows your name.
