Eye on Winer

The link to the Jimmy Cliff song “The Harder They Come” on Scripting News this morning is Dave Winer’s attempt to taunt Jack Michael Arrington Jr. He started doing it yesterday on Twitter:

Dave Winer: Mike A accused me (in public no less) of spamming TechMeme (grrrr). Now look what’s on top. http://tinyurl.com/2vnfyp

Winer: Mike was wrong, and I’m sure his post was serious, and he wasn’t gaming TechMeme with a quick swipe at Technorati

Winer: But Mike does treat TM as if it were his personal property, as he does people he calls “friends” — hubris.

Winer: Reminded of a great Jimmy Cliff song (hope you’re listening Mike). http://tinyurl.com/39uljf

Pretending for the moment that they’re actual friends — people who would help each other move, donate a kidney, suck the rattlesnake venom from an assbite — is there a more pathetic reason for a 52-year-old man to renounce a friendship than TechMeme?
