My passion took over. (Either that or the Valleywag comment posts were slow last night, leading me to do a virtual re-post.) (Or something.)

]]> <![CDATA[Jason Calacanis deletes AOL critic]]> glad to see there's consensus on the issue.

me, I just hope it's not true he's going to Federated; I was just about to begin blogging for a living.

]]> <![CDATA[Jason Calacanis deletes AOL critic]]> It's interesting that Jason -- who never hesitated to torch AOL's products and, by extension, employees in various public (well, internally public) fora -- is so quick to yank comments critical of the guy who helped him get rich(er).

So much for Citizen Media, I guess.

Let's be honest: is there anyone who knows Jason that wouldn't agree he's blowhard, self-promoting, hypocrite, whose ego will always dwarf his bank account, just as his bank account dwarfs his soul?

(I don't consider that a personal attack; it's just an observation.)

]]> <![CDATA[Jason Calacanis deletes AOL critic]]> It's funny that Jason deletes negative comments from his blog, when he never hesitated to trash AOL employees and the projects they worked on via a hugely-read (including by most senior management) internal listserv, whenever the feeling moved him. Don't get me wrong -- I'm not saying some of those employees and projects didn't have it coming. I'm just saying that Jason is a g*dd*mn hypocrite. Not that that probably comes as a surprise to anyone. Jason's ego will always dwarf his bank account, just as his bank account will always dwarf his soul (even if, as I fervently hope, he loses his entire fortune funding whatever copycat venture comes next for him).

]]> <![CDATA[Jason Calacanis deletes AOL critic]]> Rather than get into a flame war on his own blog, he took matters into his own hands, kind of like Alan Ladd's Shane in Shane.

Pa's got things for you to do. And Mother wants you. I know she does, Jason!

Jason!

Can you confirm that Jason is out at AOL? He may just start another blog to compete with Valleywag now.
