A sacred line

Thursday, August 16, 2007 by Dave Winer.

Today I got a brief note from Jason Calacanis requesting that I not mention him on my weblog. This requires a public response. The answer is no. Jason, you just crossed a sacred line. I decide what belongs on this blog. If I worked for you I would resign, just like the editor of PC World did, when they tried to control his editorial. Geez, I hope you don't do this to the editorial people who work for Mahalo.  

Andrew Badera has a fair response to undue pressure.  

The PC World editor resigned over an article entitled Ten Things We Hate About Apple. Management relented and the article ran.
