Yeah, the similarity between me and Dave Winer is that we are both pricks. We simply don't match up to your "high standards" of under-graduate, idle intellect (which is your definition of a prick).
Do I care?
Frankly, should I? ;-)
Nope.
You see - your opinion of me is worthless - you don't really represent anything I need to care about.
Just wanted to let you know that, because it is clear that you are desperate for some public reaction from me.
Next time, use sticks and stones - much more effective.
Bye bye Jace, have an excellent life - because you are certainly out of mine for good. 7 years of this neurotic behaviour from you is all I can take - evidently, that's a lot longer than most others.
Now go ahead, vent yourself. It's your journal. ;-)

If Jace is slightly obsessed with you, surely it's got to do with the fact that he, in many ways, idealizes you? :-)
noelladsa — Sep 3, 2003 7:07:58 AM — # ↩
If he made a dig at you it wasn't obvious to a majority .
Maybe one of you'll should remove the other from their friends list so that you'll don't have to see each others digs cause from the contents of your comment you seem PRETTY upst.

With all due respect, this is the part that freaks the crap out of me. So you imply that Jace's behavior over the past seven years has been "neurotic" -- pray, why then would you (both) pretend you (both) were good buddies? Why couldn't you er, "pull the plug" in year # 1, or ... year # 2 ... or ... year # 3 ... or ... if things have been OK for the past 6.x years, why would you not rather say, "The last six days/weeks/months/whatever has been neurotic", instead?
No, wait, I don't want an answer ...

Been following this thread for a while. Disgusted enough to reply to it, something I didn't plan to do.
> Just wanted to let you know that, because

> some public reaction from me.
From you? I'd normally anticipate some sort of private reaction, as in "loud, screaming obscenity laden email sent in private, attempts to bully someone into shutting up by complaining to their boss, etc".
Or if on a list that you have any kind of control over, it'd be "moderate him out, boot him out of the list, he dared to disagree with ME!!!".
I have never seen someone try to hold a LUG under such tight control that idiots who want to respond to you but get moderated out are forced into forging email in another poster's name to the list (about a year or so ago, right?) ...
That, of course, is stupid on the guy's part - but even stupider on your part, because you managed to create a situation where such things have to take place. Even more stupid of you to close down a whole LUG list for a week or more because of such issues.
You do assiduously try to maintain a charming, urbane *public* / media image though. I'll give you that. The real Atul does manage to show through pretty often, of course ... can't help that, can you?

I have been a BLUG member for sometime now. I had a look at the Qs you had asked. Seemed very relevant, infact I've seen many members asking these very questions silently!
Any of the BLUG managers should have answered them or atleast given a reason why they will not answer them. The BLUG these days doesn't seem to be as "open" as it seems from the outside.

Step back and chill. I dunno what's going on, but I know you to be better than this.

How very entertaining. There was this nice long flamewar on LIG some two years back - this does show promise of shaping up into something similar.
mmk — Sep 4, 2003 5:00:25 PM — # ↩
Yes.
I trust you read long reply on ravi's blog.
Kiran Jonnalagadda — Sep 5, 2003 3:33:51 AM — # ↩
Yes. Ravi is a mind reader.

> I trust you read long reply on ravi's blog.
Read it. It was interesting ... and I have this strange sense of deja vu from over two years back on the LI-* lists.
executive summary: a 700+ post flamewar I had with Atul, that ended up in his threatening to call my boss, my boss's CEO, group chairman etc and get me fired ...
I see (from threads here and offlist) that good old Bikachu Beamon [1] hasn't lost any of his cute and lovable (?) nature yet.

ps - sheesh. Two years of religiously avoiding him, not touching anything Atul related with a sanitized bargepole (and thanking $DEITY he isn't infesting LI-* any longer) ... and now this.

But, when a person calmly asks some valid questions on a public forum, he deserves a correct reply that "answers" those questions. Not just glossing over them or changing the subject and asking people to "lets get on with our work". That is called escaping from the truth.
mmk — Sep 5, 2003 4:13:31 AM — # ↩
And posting anon is both foolish, stupid and cowardly.
Jace, turn on IP logging?
Kiran Jonnalagadda — Sep 5, 2003 6:12:58 AM — # ↩
Don't intend to. Some people have valid concerns for remaining anonymous.
For anyone else reading this: please be polite and identify yourself. If you want a LiveJournal account too, tell me and I'll see how I can help (I've run out of invite codes).

I would agree with you fully on this.
but arnt we all expecting too much of the person in question? frankly ... i think its time some things changed ... AC --> BOOO!
