Scripting News: Dave Winer, Respectfully Disagreeable
by Rattle at 8:11 pm EDT, May 13, 2005

] The broadcast nails the podcast down in two dimensions:
] 1. Time and 2. Geography. So it seems that the
] broadcasted podcast should reflect the specifics of the
] time and geography. This says that the KYOU broadcasted
] podcasts should somehow reflect the culture of the Bay
] Area, something I know about, luckily, having lived there
] for 22 years. Even better, I like the culture of the Bay
] Area, when compared to that of say, Nashville, which I am
] coming to detest. With a passion.

] Sylvia Paull says it's time for me to head west. She might
] be right. Maybe Nashville is the clue. Or maybe, as Steve
] Gillmor says I could do the Bay Area scene from Florida
] or New York. Or maybe Nashville is really saying "Come
] home Dave." Maybe that would be the punishment they
] are asking for, the penalty they deserve? Heh.

The intelligent and the rational are able to separate ideas and positions from the people expressing them. This is one of the key practices necessary to engage in fruitful discourse where opinions differ radically.

Winer, while someone who preaches roughly this same idea, seems unable to separate the ideas and positions of the people he dealt with in Nashville from the city itself. This is the mark of a fool.

Those people aren't even from Nashville!
