I believe I have given the answers to the questions as they pertain to me - specifically that I wrongly communicated the timing and meaning of the "lynch mob" quote to Elliott Wolf. I do not think I was misquoted - I take responsibility for the lack of clarity and added to my blog post to more clearly distinguish that point. I have fortunately now also had the opportunity to apologize in person for it.<BR/><BR/>To 3:50 - "What would make Gustafson say he didn't want to be part of a lynch mob?" - basically, the existence of such elements on all sides of this case; those that John notes with respect to going after the players, as well as those who have made threats against signatories of the listening ads and others. As Wayne correctly notes - it was a "preconditional" statement rather than any kind of assessment.DukeEgr93https://www.blogger.com/profile/01656706833701438546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13073631.post-91475420508830536792007-11-17T17:38:00.000-05:002007-11-17T17:38:00.000-05:00Clearly there was a misunderstanding which Elliott...Clearly there was a misunderstanding which Elliott Wolf exploited to advance his own agenda. I am very disappointed. Elliott is smart guy, and he should have known better. I hope he finds it in his heart next week to do the right thing and apologize.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13073631.post-91575773469135234352007-11-17T16:41:00.000-05:002007-11-17T16:41:00.000-05:00Anon 3:50 said:You ask great questions.Now here's ...Anon 3:50 said:<BR/><BR/>You ask great questions.<BR/><BR/>Now here's one for you: What would make Gustafson say he didn't want to be part of a lynch mob?<BR/><BR/><BR/>Could I suggest that Gustafson did not want to be associated with a group that engaged in a smear campaign. My reading of Gustafson's comment was that he made it before he had any interaction DSED. In other words it was a precondition to him participating. He didn't call them a lynch mob. He simply wanted to set the expectations for the group before he became involved. His further comments indicate he didn't stop participating with DSED because he "thought they were a lynch mob" but because he had other demands on his time. <BR/><BR/><BR/>What do others think? Are you ready to Gustafson to the enemies list?<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Google blogger accounts are cheap (free actually) and plentiful.
