Bull: I wasn't referring to you or anyone here.

No... there's a general meme that surfaces about any who comments anaonymously as bing a troll. I got the larry king troll reference. I think trolls are obvious and typically good at creating conversations to go off course.

I always want the conversation to progress. I tried to talk with Winer on numerous occasions and I'm content now to just talk about him.

I don’t want to be famous and I really don’t think I’m a troll for have strong opinions.

I wasn't calling you a troll, McD. I was referring to Larry King et al, who's been posting falsely as McD.

Just for the record: Dave Winer never did anything to me except ask me who I am. I wondered why that should really matter. Do we have to expose ourselves on the internet to share opinions? I really wish the ideas mattered more that who I am and where I work.

I comment consistently as mcd and occissionally as Gene Poole or some other pseudo-real person to get past the censor at scripting.com and participate.

I think "Fake Steve Jobs" is less interesting since Daniel Lyons was outted. I like a good non-de-plume.

I don't want to be famous and I really don't think I'm a troll for have strong opinions.

And... I don't really care who "larry king" is... the essence of the person alway surfaces in the words... given enough time. My strong reactions to Dve Winer are always based upon his words and not any other factor.

It’s pretty funny that “larry king” thinks the location of the server matters.

We seem to have acquired our own troll -- Larry King has posted here lately as Anonymous Coward, UnMcD, Bizarro McD, and McD (though not the real one).

Eye on Winer was begun in January 2005 with this post. I joined a couple months ago as a writer. I have nothing to do with the domain or the hosting.

A minor nit: Dave lives in Berkeley, which I don't think anyone counts as Silicon Valley. Even SF is a stretch, but it's become traditional to lump it in because so many companies are there (or so many Silicon Valley workers live there).

Like I said, a minor point. shrug

That just means where the web host is, it has nothing to do with who's running it. In this case it appears it could be hostingmatters.com. I have servers in several states, it really means nothing at all where a server is located.

Rogers Cadenhead uses The Planet anyway, totally different part of the country.
