Usually, when friends fight, both of them apologize. You have done that. They haven't - unless I am missing something?
I think you are handling this very well - and focused on the right thing - shaking hands and moving on. Hopefully everyone can do the same. Jeesh!
If only I had this much drama going on my own site, I'd be raking in the dough! ;)
I take back what I said.
Can we all get off of time out now and get back to playing the game?
:)
You rock Scoble. Keep goin!

So apart from lying about me and slandering me he is also a thief as I proven above. Yet he dares to attack Scoble just because he pointed out that Engadget is not behaving properly.
I repeat: http://mobilitytoday.com is blacklisted by Engadget - why Peter Rojas denies that such thing as blacklist of Engadget exists? Why Peter Rojas pretends that he treats all equally etc. All lies! Why Chris Ziegler from Engadget steal stories from my site without giving credit or via link?
Think about it: Calacanis keeps stolen intellectual property on his server. This is what kind of guy he is.
You and your friends at http://www.podtech.net are doing a fantastic job. Just saw the two movies about intel fab, this reminds me of a speech by Carvor Mead http://www.manhattan-institute.org/html/wl1987.htm
and a graph http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=%5EDJI&t=my...
As Bill said in the interview, there are fantastic times coming up.
Technically, since the comic is about him, you'd have one hell of a time making that stick in any court.
I hate the term intellectual property -- it's a farce. Go and read some of what the Free Software Foundation has to say about the term, and if you have a modicum of understanding about copyright/copyleft, you'll understand they are right on.
Even Europe is moving away from the term, since it's falacious.

It's always good to calm down, and think things through. However, I also still believe you had valid points in your initial argument, even if they were not presented in the most politically correct way. I think Kevin Tofel is 100% correct, and that that is one of the great things about the blogosphere - it may not be pretty, but it's real. And I think it's the sign of a good friend that they CAN call you a spoiled jerk - we all behave badly at some point or other - and still be friends.
You are on the go almost 100% with tech. If you're not at work, your fooling around with your son and his tech stuff. You eat, breathe, and live tech.
It gets old after a while. I recently moved to a small western town after working hard core tech jobs for 8 years. I left a 6-figure job for one making a third of that. I'm happier than I ever thought I'd be. No commute, no traffic, no horrible staff meetings, no dealing with customers, etc. Back to the basics. Amen. Amen. Amen.
Robert, you need to take your wife and get away for a couple of weeks. Just you and her. No Internet-enabled devices. No mobile phones. No contact with the outside world. Get on one of those cruise ships that caters to those who like sailing the old-fashioned way. Wooden ships, iron men. No TVs, no Internet, no dancing girls, no buffets capable of feeding half of Africa. Do it. It's fun, and you get to breathe and enjo yourself and your wife - just you two talking and enjoying the weather and the ports of call. Use and Internet cafe every couple of days just to say hi, but leave it at that. No blogging. Just get off the radar. You'll thank yourself and your wife will thank you. It will make your marriage stronger, even if you already have a rock-solid marriage.
Scoble is a hero to stand up to these content thieves from Engadget and WeblogsInc! Now Calacanis is doing similar trick as he done against Steven Gillmor: he is bullying Scoble into submission and into going away and deleting comments etc. You will see soon Scoble submissively issuing big apology to overlords from WeblogsInc/Calacanis-land/Engadget-content-thieves.
I wonder where friends of Scoble are now when these evil people attack him with slander just for pointing out some "strange" practices.
Never give up, never surrender Scoble. If you let Calcanis bully you by his tricks (what destroyed Steven Gillmor already) then you Scoble will also end up as laugh stock of Calacanis - as Gillmor ended...
Indeed. However I never use Engadget or Weblogs Inc. I have use for either of them since they make gods out of mere toys. I use a single laptop computer and a single printer. I own one phone, a mobile.
Forgot to ask you... where in the world is that photo on your blog's masthead?
Fred,
This is why I don't blog. I've got an opinion like everyone else, but unlike Scoble, I'm not a mea culpa guy unless I really do something stupid. I'm an extremist with some of my views, and I just don't want to have to justify myself at every turn, so I'm smart enough to not even attempt it.
Living in the public eye like Robert does is bound to get one in trouble at some point along the journey. It's unavoidable.
... That's alright -- this thing's gotta happen every five years or so -- ten years -- helps to get rid of the bad blood. Been ten years since the last one...
I agree you went off the handle a bit, but for fairly legit reasons.
People are allowed to blow up. Just maybe a little too much info in the blow up. Way to man up and admit that maybe you went overboard.
You continue to have my respect and eyes on your blog. Keep at it!
hope to see you at SXSW.

How in the world could you be a hockey fan and like Dallas? :)
Calgary Flames here, all the way. Montreal second...
You have a lot of nerve attacking Jason Calacanis and Peter Rojas when it is in fact YOU who is generally considered to be the craziest and most slanderous individual on the Internet. Your podcasts and poorly-drawn comics are full of maniacal rants and hate speech, which is probably why Microsoft has just as much distaste for you as Nokia did. Remember Beattie? Remember JacekWatch? It is you, sir, who is a thorn in the side of the blogosphere, and it is you who should be apologizing to the tech community for your relentless trolling and spamming since the days of BBS. Let's hope there really is a Hell, Jacek, because that is the only appropriate place for an ugly, mean, hate-filled man such as yourself.
1. Believe me, no one in their right mind would consider your crappy, almost illegible sites to be any sort of "competition."
2. If Microsoft likes you so much, then why are you a topic of ridicule at each and every Mobius conference? Even MS employees get in on the fun. If Microsoft respects your contributions to the Windows Mobile community, then why are you not -- nor will you ever be -- a VIP?
3. Where exactly do you identify yourself as Jacek Rutkowski on the Comic Strip Blog?
4. If you are such a legitimate blogger, why do you stalk people all the way across the world to the point where they have to contact local authorities? Please explain how harassing other writers with relentless phone calls is in any way acceptable.
5. Of course I wouldn't leave my real name when calling out a known stalker: you're batshit crazy, friend.
Indeed.
Scoble Libre :)
So when I call you a whiny bitch for fussing at Robert for what other people say, that's HIS fault?
Damn son, "stupid" don't even begin to cover that.
Yes, politics bad, evil, no-good. it will take over your mind and allow a bunch of BS on your blog site!!!

I may not be a professional in the sense you are, but I do aspire to be a man of business in a few years, and I completely agree that where you were going is not the best route for you -- or your readers.
I understand the need to out lash and let it all out sometimes, but I feel that it got a bit out of hand and I commend you for taking responsibility and trying to move on and make things move forward.
I hope the people you lashed out towards do the right thing and forgive you and move on professionally.
I will continue to read and support you, even though you haven't a clue who I am :).
Good luck.

all over that piece of shit Scoble show ? The guys freaking cos his star is waning and its visible to all what a waste of space he really is.....good bye fatty.....
What are you, in Junior high school? If you don't like the show, or this blog, don't read it. Your wit and intelligence will be missed, but all of us will struggle on.
Guy
They always say that to err is human and to forgive is divine. But they always seem to forget about how hard it is to apologize and admit you're wrong.
So kudos for doing that :-)
It is blog excitement and excellent linkbait after all, as Calacanis correctly points out.
