I think you enjoy the drama, Scoble.
It is blog excitement and excellent linkbait after all, as Calacanis correctly points out.

I remember the first time I really screwed up with something I posted on my blog. Maryam helped me figure out how to fix it and, after I apologized, things worked themselves out quite nicely. It wasn't easy though.

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 :-)

asssuck @ 36,
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.

Robert, I have 2 points to make. Go back to Naked Conversations. I think that the point was made that there will always be things like this done. You can't please everyone. You have to let stuff like this just roll off and not let it effect you. Second, I think in a weird way Jason was trying to be a friend. Sort of in the weird way that a friend will always tell you that you have something in your teeth, when no one else will. I have found that when situations like this occur, the best thing is to leave it alone; like you did, then call the person, or meet him at Demo and go have a beer.

@32: no but it is his blog and bloggers are responsible for anonymous comments.

@32: no, it's not his fault, but it is his blog and bloggers are responsible for comments of anonymous commenters. I am not anonymoous as I post link to my blog, etc.

I feel this is the best thing you can do Mr. Scoble (I don't like calling people by a first name basis).

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.

Wait, it's Robert's fault when people talk shit about you Comic Strip Blogger?

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.

I'll pay money to see Scoble duke it out in the ring with the Engadget crew. Who's with me! :p

How the f-ck making 2-3 phone calls IN ONE and the same DAY, to get interview, JUST ONE DAY, is "relentless". This is beyond pathetic.

Anonymous p-g that is envious of my achievements, so continues slander and lies that doesn't deserve my comment. Robert Scoble: you as blog owner, not anonymous commenters, are responsbile for slander so I recommend you to remove it.

Jacek:

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.

@ Robert Scoble: suggestion: I agree with Hugh MacLeod that anonymous comments should be forbidden. I suggest introduction of registration to comments on your blog! You have big traffic site so it is reasonable move to get rid of anonymous people who don't stand for their words.

@24: you are a deluded fool and liar. Besides: I have not been stealing content like Calacanis and Peter Rojas' Engadget have been doing. Thinking that I can have big influence on blogosphere only shows how totally obsessed with myself you are - just because you are direct competitor to myself in your writings. At least I write as myself pointing out to my blog that identifies me, and you still are hiding behind anonymity. Microsoft has distate? Another lie: I am getting interviews, podcsats and lately alos invitation to the even at the conference next month.

Comic Strip Blogger (a.k.a. Jacek Rutkowski):

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.

Friends don't write friends hateful open letters. Friends pick up the phone and say "hey buddy, what's up, bad day?"
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.

@15,

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.

Not sure if anyone else has made this observation, but it seems that your online demeanor has changed ever since you went on that John Edwards junket. Only been reading your blog for a couple of months and don't really "know" you well enough, but that's my two cents for what it's worth.
