Dave Doesn’t Retire

Last March, Dave Winer promised to stop blogging by the end of the year. I asked him not to.

Today he says he’s staying on until April. Good for him, and good luck with whatever fight he picked that he’s referring to.

Thanks for giving the blogosphere a few more months at least, Dave. We need our great-great-grandfather of blogging to keep things civilized around here.

It’s pretty ironic you throwing stones at Dave for previously having posted “Scripting News is taking a break.”, wasn’t one of your last posts “Putting TechCrunch UK On Hold”?

What’s with the bitterness Mike, is it big things or lotsa little things?

you want dave to stay to help keep things civilized? he is one of the most argumentative and combative people ever. He picks fights like a 3 year old picks his nose.

Why do you edit posts after you’ve posted them?

One of the most prominent individual investors, apart from Arrington, is Dave Winer, the evangelist of blogging and web syndication. In an extraordinary lapse of self-control, Arrington, quoting a comment about Winer’s fragile emotional and physical health, calls the 51-year-old the great-great-grandfather of blogging, a description so snide it made even us wince.

I always get a chuckle visiting this blog. =)
