There's a lot of background to the incident that most people don't see. What most people think is that Dare blogged something bad about TC and Mike fired back in an over reacted manner.<br><br>Well, that's just not true. Dare is a Microsoft blogger. Why does Microsoft hire bloggers? And just because MS is a BIG company doesn't mean it ignores little entities. It's like an army of ants working on several minor things. It's a huge machine with thousands taking care of minute things. That's what makes it BIG.<br><br>That said, let me give you a bit of background on this incident. This is Dare's second attack on TC. First attack: MS was hiring people to edit it's wikipedia pages in favor of it's format against ODF to become the standard. This is clearly unethical and Mike blogged about it criticizing MS. This Dare Obasanjo dude goes and defaces TC's wikipedia entry and confronts Mike to do what he can about it. Now, this is clearly not a *personal opinion*. It reflects on MS and not just Dare.<br><br>Second attack: Gillmor put up a post on TechCrunchIT retaliating Dare who was criticizing new standards bodies which were backed by Google, Yahoo, etc., These are mostly the standards which Plaxo and other guys are trying to frame and promote. Now MS isn't involved in these discussions and had not responded to their invites. Dare was of the opinion that IETF was the body to promote internet standards and these smaller and ad-hoc standard committees are a farce and backed by Google et.,al to outwit MS. Gillmor countered that many important standards like OAuth, OpenID, etc., had emerged in similar ad-hoc manner and that waiting for IETF to formally approve standards was just out of pace with the speed at which the internet is moving. Dare counters again and calls Gillmor names and accuses him of personal attack. Gillmor puts up another post explaining his position and saying it was not a personal attack. Then comes Dare's post attacking Mike and TechCrunch. Now, this isn't exactly *personal opinion*. It is clearly MS engine at work. And Mike was right in calling it out. This was all as a response to TechCrunchIT supporting competing standards.<br><br><br>Now coming to this MossyBlog dude here in twitter encounter, even if theres no central mandate, it is driven by the employee's pride for his company. Now he is *pride-blind* and not objective. He feels MS's interference with their bloggers is minimal. But then, MS *has-to* look at their blogger's behavior when they go attacking other bloggers. MS wants to become a part of the blogosphere and want to have their voice by hiring bloggers. Surely then, it should also make sure to watch their step.

They are his opinions, just as yours are on this blog... correct? Or was Fast Company behind your letter to fellow democrats? Was Fast Company behind the post where you \"attacked\"/ critiqued all of the startups sites a while back? How about when you were at Microsoft and posted about the company backing certain political things in the state of Washington?

I suppose his choice in music should also be considered, since it is posted at the bottom of his posts, and I doubt Microsoft would endorse it all. Point being, it is a personal blog with a personal opinion, just as you have had at your employers, where things are written that have opinions that may or may not go along with the company or those that are written about.

For this to be on TechCrunch is like you posting this at Fast Company, or Microsoft issuing it as a press release or on something like Scott Guthrie's blog which is deemed official communication. It is ridiculous and unprofessional. As an example, while I think the name calling on Twitter was absurd, Twitter is not a business site - it was personal posting, so totally fine, but to post it on a company site, why? Again, unprofessional. How does that fit with what people go to TechCrunch for? What's next - Arrington posting about what he ate for dinner? Totally fine for a personal site, but it is supposed to be a business right? With other writers and with a set of topics it covers. The post almost makes it more F*ckedCompany like in some ways.<br><br>The main thing is, so a guy writes about TechCrunch covering things in a way deemed like F*ckedCompany, fine.

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-9710949" class="dsq-comment-message">Scobleizer, why are you injecting yourself into what should be a personal spat? I find it absurd that this whole thing is on the front page of TechCrunch when it is clearly something personal between Michael and Dare.<br><br>Dare\'s blog is not an official company blog, and that is made clear. They are his opinions, just as yours are on this blog... correct? Or was Fast Company behind your letter to fellow democrats? Was Fast Company behind the post where you "attacked"/ critiqued all of the startups sites a while back? How about when you were at Microsoft and posted about the company backing certain political things in the state of Washington?  No - they were your thoughts, on your blog.<br><br>Because Dare works for Microsoft, he is not allowed to have his own thoughts on his own blog without it being some company mandate or official line, or he should "face consequences"? I suppose his choice in music should also be considered, since it is posted at the bottom of his posts, and I doubt Microsoft would endorse it all. Point being, it is a personal blog with a personal opinion, just as you have had at your employers, where things are written that have opinions that may or may not go along with the company or those that are written about. Given you have written about how you would "die to protect free speech", I find your involvment in this strange.<br><br>It is also rather amusing that his post was a so called "attack". Given that TechCrunch purchased F*ckedCompany it is rather funny that this is now what would be considered an attack. In fact, I saw nothing that should be considered an attack. Compare the post in question to what Arrington wrote on Twitter - i.e. name calling etc.<br><br>Further, why is this even worthy of being on TechCrunch? TechCrunch is not some personal blog. It is supposedly a real business. For this to be on TechCrunch is like you posting this at Fast Company, or Microsoft issuing it as a press release or on something like Scott Guthrie\'s blog which is deemed official communication. It is ridiculous and unprofessional. As an example, while I think the name calling on Twitter was absurd, Twitter is not a business site - it was personal posting, so totally fine, but to post it on a company site, why? Again, unprofessional. How does that fit with what people go to TechCrunch for? What\'s next - Arrington posting about what he ate for dinner? Totally fine for a personal site, but it is supposed to be a business right? With other writers and with a set of topics it covers. The post almost makes it more F*ckedCompany like in some ways.<br><br>The main thing is, so a guy writes about TechCrunch covering things in a way deemed like F*ckedCompany, fine. How is that an attack? How is that any different then any of the millions of people talking about how the New York Times has a slant? Would it not be absurd to see an article about that<br><br>I also found it a bit low brow and suspect that Michael commented about Dare\'s father. What did that have to do with anything? That is out of bounds.<br><br>Finally, as I said, I do not understand why you are getting involved, but you know what - it is your personal blog, and as stated above - more power to you, that is your right. Why not post this as a Fast Company video too? See, that would be absurd. However, if you have evidence that Microsoft has some company mandate, telling people to "attack" others from their personal blogs - that is news and you should produce it, rather than intimating and throwing out in your comments.</div>\

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-9710930" class="dsq-comment-message">Mike is right here. There\'s a lot of background to the incident that most people don\'t see. What most people think is that Dare blogged something bad about TC and Mike fired back in an over reacted manner.<br><br>Well, that\'s just not true. Dare is a Microsoft blogger. Why does Microsoft hire bloggers? And just because MS is a BIG company doesn\'t mean it ignores little entities. It\'s like an army of ants working on several minor things. It\'s a huge machine with thousands taking care of minute things. That\'s what makes it BIG.<br><br>That said, let me give you a bit of background on this incident. This is Dare\'s second attack on TC. First attack: MS was hiring people to edit it\'s wikipedia pages in favor of it\'s format against ODF to become the standard. This is clearly unethical and Mike blogged about it criticizing MS. This Dare Obasanjo dude goes and defaces TC\'s wikipedia entry and confronts Mike to do what he can about it. Now, this is clearly not a *personal opinion*. It reflects on MS and not just Dare.<br><br>Second attack: Gillmor put up a post on TechCrunchIT retaliating Dare who was criticizing new standards bodies which were backed by Google, Yahoo, etc., These are mostly the standards which Plaxo and other guys are trying to frame and promote. Now MS isn\'t involved in these discussions and had not responded to their invites. Dare was of the opinion that IETF was the body to promote internet standards and these smaller and ad-hoc standard committees are a farce and backed by Google et.,al to outwit MS. Gillmor countered that many important standards like OAuth, OpenID, etc., had emerged in similar ad-hoc manner and that waiting for IETF to formally approve standards was just out of pace with the speed at which the internet is moving. Dare counters again and calls Gillmor names and accuses him of personal attack. Gillmor puts up another post explaining his position and saying it was not a personal attack. Then comes Dare\'s post attacking Mike and TechCrunch. Now, this isn\'t exactly *personal opinion*. It is clearly MS engine at work. And Mike was right in calling it out. This was all as a response to TechCrunchIT supporting competing standards.<br><br><br>Now coming to this MossyBlog dude here in twitter encounter, even if theres no central mandate, it is driven by the employee\'s pride for his company. Now he is *pride-blind* and not objective. He feels MS\'s interference with their bloggers is minimal. But then, MS *has-to* look at their blogger\'s behavior when they go attacking other bloggers. MS wants to become a part of the blogosphere and want to have their voice by hiring bloggers. Surely then, it should also make sure to watch their step. You can\'t shrug it off as employee\'s *personal opinion*.</div>\
