More on the state of discourse these
days 03/23/2005 08:15 AM

While we're at it, a couple of other observations on the state of discourse.

1. If someone is critical of a group, a company, a gathering, a conference, any kind of association, and you are a member of that group, or were at the gathering, etc, it does not follow that the criticism is personal. If I say Apple is really fucking the bloggers, that doesn't mean if you work there that you are. If I don't know you, how could I possibly make a statement about you? Now you're welcome to take it personally, it seems everyone always will take everything personally, but that doesn't mean it was meant to be personal. No doubt someone here is thinking I'm talking about them right now, but please, believe me, if your name doesn't appear here, it isn't about you.

2. This bit is about Doc Searls. As I've come to know Doc over close to 20 years, I've come to know that he's extremely conflict-averse. But this itself seems to put Doc in conflict, with himself, because he has strong beliefs, and they're basically sound ones, intelligent, intuitively correct, and often courageous. But if he has a chance to make friends with someone, I've seen Doc throw his principles out the window, with passion, as evidenced in his defense of Evan Williams, who is violating every rule of Doc's own manifesto.

3. This bit is about me, Dave Winer. Now, me, I'm not conflict-averse. I think conflict gives us human beings a chance to explore alternate views of the world. And we've got some serious problems, like global warming and in the US, the declining value of the dollar, and tunnels under the US border with Mexico, just to name three. If we don't listen to some foreign ideas, and consider that they might help us solve some of our problems, we're just going to drift into oblivion.

And what exactly is the point of averting conflict? It's never seemed to be that high a priority to me.

So Doc can avoid real discourse, with pretty much everyone, except me. I study the Cluetrain, at times I think I believe in it more than he does. Or I don't get so easily swept up in trying to be friends with people using me to deliver a message, when the market is really demanding a conversation.

It's rare to have friends who call me on my bullshit but they are my best friends. They give me a chance to learn, to grow, to become a Better Dave. And that's important because a real friend doesn't want you to be untrue to yourself. In fact, a really good friend wants you to stay true to yourself, always.
