Short Memories And Pukey Swooning
Here we go.
After a huge public brouhaha over O’Reilly harassing the organizers of a conference that used Web 2.0 in its name, Tim O’Reilly comes out doing major damage control, deflecting blame, and exposing his ass for the rest of the web world to kiss.
All I can say is give me a damned break. You tried to flex your corporate muscle, got smacked down for being a hypocrite and now you’re backpedalling.
Don’t worry. There are plenty of sycophants out there dying for you to like them.
I’m not one of them. You got what you deserved, and your backhanded swipes at the “mob” are proof positive that in the end you don’t think you really did anything wrong, nor do you have anything to apologize for.
