Sliding down the slipery slope

This morning brings a new gem from Scripting News. A new attempt by Dave Winer to fan the flames. For somebody who claims to hate flame wars he sure uses a lot of gasoline.

What is truly laughable is this bit "it actually was a company turning a Wikipedia page into an ad for itself." Funny that just a few days ago he endorsed just such a person. Take a minute to read the page on Dave Winer, who has made himself a brand and the controversy about the editor's role in trying to rewrite history -- apparently a virtue if you rewrite the way Winer wants it to be.

Of course this is to be expected from a person who has no compunction about linking to business associates and himself as authoritative sources on topics without any disclaimer.
