No offense, mate, but you used to shill  for Microsoft for a living (which today's AppleTV post suggests you're embarrassingly happy to do for free), and now you play Web-tech Pollyanna for the copious-free-time set.

I read hundreds of blogs without regard to knowing who wrote them.  I judge strictly by past performance, and from time to time performance drops off and I \"switch channels\".

I think it's fair to say we were both surprised by the results. On neither side was there any evidence of the acrimony that has been so widely attributed to both of us. By the next day we were speaking on the phone -- for nearly two hours. If you had overheard our conversation, you would have thought us old friends. While some publications were speculating about various permutations on men who hate women on the web -- including the suggestion that anything I could possibly say was \"hysterical masculine self-pity posing as righteous indignation\" -- Kathy and I were swapping industry war stories... and laughing! You had to be there to believe it.\"</i><br><br>Okay. And this means... what? That you believe Kathy views you as a friend of some sort? How self-centric of you Chris! Way to speak of empathy!<br><br>And that's only the intro....<br><br><i>\"It's true we laughed, but not at the core issues. No one was laughing about the offensive words and images that were posted to the blogs I was involved with.\"</i><br><br>So you AREN'T friends. But I thought you were after that self-flattering first paragraph. BTW<i>\"Some of the things that were posted about her were admittedly frightening, and far beyond tasteless. The post about Maryam Scoble was cruel and disgusting. These postings prompted the decision to delete both blogs (and not, as has been reported, Terms of Service violations, which were assessed retroactively).\"</i><br><br>Ah. But One would think deleting a SINGLE blog would be enough. Not for you I see. Continuing on with this phantom olive branch....<br><br><i>Careers and reputations have been seriously injured by a rush to judgement that was often sadly short on evidence of crime or culpability.</i><br><br>Yep. Now we are getting to your self-centered view of all this. Kathy was actually hurt... emotionally. She actually posted images and more. And you? You pulled the site - after the damage was done. Then had the audacity to say it was YOU who was wronged.<br><br>Still waiting for some words to the effect that YOU opened that second site with the intent to carry on what the first site became....<br><br><i>\"Misogyny is real -- and vile. Violence against women is wrong. It must not be tolerated. This issue should be explored and discussed, not swept under the rug, not rationalized away.\"</i><br><br>You came close here. But here's the key question - WHEN did you shut down YOUR site. You know the second one you simply had to start up because that first one was shut down? Before, or after? If you have to ask what I mean - then you really don't have a clue.<br><br><i>\"At the same time, we need to look closely and carefully at the implications for free speech. The First Amendment allows and protects language that many find noxious.\"</i><br><br>That pretty much answers my question. I could uote more of your ego-centric ramblings, but I'm sorry - you make me sick. You think you can have somebody POST - POST!!!! - pictures and words like they did on your site - and somehow frame this as First Amendment issues?<br><br>Hey, buddy.... I can call you that right? After all, you and Kathy are bestest of buds after that 2 hour phone call you both laughed through.<br><br>Hey bud, I'm sorry, but I am STILL waiting for something - anything? - that says you might atually feel you did the slightest bit wrong.<br><br>Robert, delete this comment if you must.

Not only are flames hard in 140 characters, the general temperament on Twitter is much more positive (at least for now). While I\'m sure there are flame wars going on, they\'re not in my neighborhood and anyone who practices that sort of behavior will not make it onto my friends list.<br><br>2. More rules is not the answer. I understand Tim O\'Reilly\'s motivations in talking about guidelines but suppression of speech, even with the best of intentions, is still a road that leads to totalitarianism hell.<br><br>3.

You see the same thing reflected in the news. The plus side is that problems get the attention they need for resolution. Downside is the possibility of discouragement.<br>It seems the same goes here : \'one bad apple spoils the barrel\'. The threats are one more signal that things are out of control : but we can\'t have it both ways.<br>Blogging is often an exercise in discipline as much as a pleasure. I\'m not surprised many posters find \'a change is as good as a rest\'. Getting out more is hardly a bad thing. That said, the stimulation of net dialogue is addictive.</div>\

The suggestion has been made that threats were made by people who are anonymous with the implication that ending anonymity would solve a lot of problems, and it most likely would.  On the other hand the RIAA hasn\'t had too much trouble tracking people down who would clearly rather remain anonymous.  At the same time we mostly celebrate new technologies that allow people with oppressive governments to engage in free speech as long as they can keep their identities from those governments.  Sort of reminds me of the gun-control debate, with members of the pundocracy saying, in effect:  "Guns should be outlawed, but I should be allowed to have one to defend my swimming pool."<br><br>In the 90s I purchased a domain with the intent of setting up a web site as a cautionary tale about people who put too much personal information online.  The plan was to have the proud author expose his family and friends to the world with cameras showing the layout of the house, where the secret back door key was kept and where the children caught the bus in the mornings.  The idea was to warn people, though humor, about the potential dangers.  Only problem was that my exaggerations couldn\'t keep up with the real world.  I couldn\'t make it blatant enough, beyond what thousands of people were already doing, so that people would get the joke.<br><br>I don\'t have a hard statistic, but my guess is that the vast majority of blogs are done anonymously, or at least mostly so.   Yet in the past you have criticized anyone who does such a thing as somehow less legitimate than people who put their names out there.<br><br>My opinion remains that for a professional journalist you either have to use a real name, or establish a permanent pseudonym under which you write.  But for the rest of us, I advise to avoid the 3AM phone calls and graffiti on your walls and stay anonymous until you get an invitation from CNN at which point maybe you want to "go professional".  I read hundreds of blogs without regard to knowing who wrote them.  I judge strictly by past performance, and from time to time performance drops off and I "switch channels".  There DOES seem to be a correlation between consistency and those who are at least making some money doing this work, but other than that I really don\'t think there is anything WRONG with posting an anonymous blog.<br><br>PS: I still don\'t know the story behind the story here.  Threats are rare (in my experience) on technical blogs, and abundant on political blogs.  I think the best thing that can be done about it has to do with sentencing future offenders to jail time rather than letting them off with warnings and restraining orders as seems to be the norm.</div>\

Since he hasn\'t posted much, nor allows comments, let me post here:<br><br><i>"Thanks to Tim O\'Reilly, Kathy and I began exchanging email last Wednesday. I think it\'s fair to say we were both surprised by the results. On neither side was there any evidence of the acrimony that has been so widely attributed to both of us. By the next day we were speaking on the phone -- for nearly two hours. If you had overheard our conversation, you would have thought us old friends. While some publications were speculating about various permutations on men who hate women on the web -- including the suggestion that anything I could possibly say was "hysterical masculine self-pity posing as righteous indignation" -- Kathy and I were swapping industry war stories... and laughing! You had to be there to believe it."</i><br><br>Okay. And this means... what? That you believe Kathy views you as a friend of some sort? How self-centric of you Chris! Way to speak of empathy!<br><br>And that\'s only the intro....<br><br><i>"It\'s true we laughed, but not at the core issues. No one was laughing about the offensive words and images that were posted to the blogs I was involved with."</i><br><br>So you AREN\'T friends. But I thought you were after that self-flattering first paragraph. BTW<i>"Some of the things that were posted about her were admittedly frightening, and far beyond tasteless. The post about Maryam Scoble was cruel and disgusting. These postings prompted the decision to delete both blogs (and not, as has been reported, Terms of Service violations, which were assessed retroactively)."</i><br><br>Ah. But One would think deleting a SINGLE blog would be enough. Not for you I see. Continuing on with this phantom olive branch....<br><br><i>Careers and reputations have been seriously injured by a rush to judgement that was often sadly short on evidence of crime or culpability.</i><br><br>Yep. Now we are getting to your self-centered view of all this. Kathy was actually hurt... emotionally. She actually posted images and more. And you? You pulled the site - after the damage was done. Then had the audacity to say it was YOU who was wronged.<br><br>Still waiting for some words to the effect that YOU opened that second site with the intent to carry on what the first site became....<br><br><i>"Misogyny is real -- and vile. Violence against women is wrong. It must not be tolerated. This issue should be explored and discussed, not swept under the rug, not rationalized away."</i><br><br>You came close here. But here\'s the key question - WHEN did you shut down YOUR site. You know the second one you simply had to start up because that first one was shut down? Before, or after? If you have to ask what I mean - then you really don\'t have a clue.<br><br><i>"At the same time, we need to look closely and carefully at the implications for free speech. The First Amendment allows and protects language that many find noxious."</i><br><br>That pretty much answers my question. I could uote more of your ego-centric ramblings, but I\'m sorry - you make me sick. You think you can have somebody POST - POST!!!! - pictures and words like they did on your site - and somehow frame this as First Amendment issues?<br><br>Hey, buddy.... I can call you that right? After all, you and Kathy are bestest of buds after that 2 hour phone call you both laughed through.<br><br>Hey bud, I\'m sorry, but I am STILL waiting for something - anything? - that says you might atually feel you did the slightest bit wrong.<br><br>Robert, delete this comment if you must. I haven\'t posted anything until tonite about this whole shameful debacle. (I sent a private email to one blogger. But no posts.)<br><br>My previous post was out of frustration on things. This? I read what you linked to... after waiting for days to hear SOMETHING out of Chris\' mouth that would make me believe he atually "gets it". And was promptly upset.</div>\

The byline of it is "Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men"<br><br>I think if everyone read that book we could begin to truly shift the misogny and abuse.  But right now  all cultures are continuing to aid in "The Making of an Abusive Man" (which is the title of chapter 13).<br><br>The annominity of the internet is not the issue.   It is one small tool that amplifies an issue that is rampant throughout our country.  I use the term "our country" intentionally because it literally does not matter what country the reader is in.  The issue of the control and abuse of women is international.<br><br># Around the world, at least one in every three women has been beaten, coerced into sex or otherwise abused during her lifetime.<br># [In the US] Seventy-eight percent of stalking victims are women. Women are significantly more likely than men (60 percent and 30 percent, respectively) to be stalked by intimate partners.<br>Stats are from: <a href="http://www.endabuse.org/resources/facts/" rel="nofollow">http://www.endabuse.org/resources/facts/</a><br><br>If anything, I think the anonymity of the internet is helping out the issue in a great way!  What we are seeing in the Internet Community is actually more VISIBLE because the anonymity is allowing the writer to voice their thoughts and desired actions in a public way.  That sort of sickness goes on all the time but up until recently it has only been occuring behind closed doors and the backseats of cars where no one heard the screams.   The outcry of rage at that kind of behavior is what NEEDS TO HAPPEN to make change happen.<br><br>Thank you to you Robert and everyone else who is being loud about it.  And please seriously take a look at the book.  It is a gem and will help anybody and everybody to be there more fully for people like Kathy and the rest of us.  With the stats being one out of every three women in the world experiencing some form of abuse - chances are you know many of us - even if you are unaware of it!</div>\

The First Amendment allows and protects language that many find noxious.”<br><br>Can we stop associating this with Free Speech?  Free Speech is only relevant when the govt is involved.  The govt is the only entity that has controls on how it can or can\'t limit speech.  A private entity can do pretty much whatever it wants in regards to regulating speech.  Scoble, for example, is well within his "rights" to decide what can and can\'t be posted here. If he doesn\'t want "noxious" speech on his blog, he can regulate that. And he would NOT be infrining on anyone\'s free speech rights if he were to do so.<br><br>So, any private citizen can bring up a site and allow or disallow any comments they want.<br><br>Where the problem comes into play is when we start talking about inacting laws to regulate comments and anonymity. (And to his credit, Scoble is against that.).  Now, when that speech begins to infringe on the rights of others (i.e. death threats) then the govt (read:law enforcement).<br><br>I\'m curious why at the very first perceived threat Sierra didn\'t shut down comments until she got to the bottom of it?</div>\

Maybe if you ‘got out a little’ you might see this is old news.</em><br><br>As I wrote on <a href="http://waxbanks.typepad.com/blog/2007/03/quickly_re_the_.html" rel="nofollow">my</a> own <a href="http://waxbanks.typepad.com/blog/2007/03/additional_thou.html" rel="nofollow">site</a> (the second post is long but seems like helpful remedial reading, under the circumstances), the content of the original offensive posts isn\'t particularly shocking to people who\'ve spent much time taking part in genuinely freewheeling online communities. Or spent time with Internet-enabled adolescents, for that matter. What\'s stunning, though, is the fact that self-identifying Internet professionals - like Robert Scoble, for instance - can be surprised and outraged that <em>such nasty speech</em> goes on outside their own comments threads.<br><br>Mr Scoble, I thought you acquitted yourself poorly in your original post on this matter; shows of sympathy may be well-meaning (and of course I don\'t doubt the sincerity of your concern) but the self-importance and hermeticism on display on this blog were and are pretty remarkable. I\'ve no strong opinion one way or the other about Kathy Sierra and her blog but the fact remains that her <em>very public</em> reaction seemingly (seemingly!) had more to do with the belated recognition that this sort of stuff happens all the time than with the specific utterances in question.<br><br>Invocations of Nazism in a blog post like this one, Mr Scoble, should be called out just as contemptuously as similar invocations anywhere else. You sound surprised that your blogging - which is, after all, your primary source of notoriety and apparently business contact - isn\'t \'fun\' anymore. No offense, mate, but you used to shill  for Microsoft for a living (which today\'s AppleTV post suggests you\'re embarrassingly happy to do for free), and now you play Web-tech Pollyanna for the copious-free-time set. It\'s always been a business.<br><br>Worst, you write:<br><br><em>I’m sorry that four people had their names dragged through the mud for something that Maryam and I believe they didn’t do. It makes me very worried about my comments.</em><br><br>Shouldn\'t that make you very worried about Kathy Sierra\'s blog post? That\'s the mud-dragging you\'re referring to, right? Shouldn\'t you be <em>considerably more worried</em> about your <em>own</em> post, and the conversational bubble <em>you</em> apparently live and work in?<br><br>Danah Boyd\'s response to all this is fairly sensible (her troubling telling of a troubling story from her past notwithstanding); that shouldn\'t come as a surprise, since she reads this sort of thing all the time. It\'s her responsibility as a public intellectual and as a citizen of the wider (digital) world. As a figure in online business, you have related (though not identical) responsibilities. Perhaps that\'s part of your shock last week: finding out you\'d been shirking them.<br><br>Good luck.</div>\
