I know, seriously. Well said Johnny Potatoes. "I hate this site, damn when will it refresh?" runs through his head all day I bet. LOL. Nice one.

Wow, Jason. New media is all about the world of idea exchanges and sharing of ideas. It seems you are easily ruffled by those who row against your current. This back and forth juvenile banter on friends turned enemies is not what I come here for. So, if you are trying to disuade readers from Valleywag, all you are doing is disuading them from you - elitest snot. What happened in the world of innovation - love all, serve all? Forget how you got big for your britches to begin with?

ValleyWag, you deserve to be banned for all the terrible things you say about people that are usually so mean. Who would want you at their conference?

The Arrington and Calainass show must just be too easy fodder for Vwag. I guess they don't want to make it to easy for you to rip on their "conference"

Why does the quote "I am the decider..." come to mind?

For more fun with Calacanis, just Google Lindsaylohanonanism.

Ugh, he got lucky with weblogs inc., everything else he's done has been a total failure.
Stop feeding the troll.

Jason Calacanis is a big fat jackass. I'd ban his account here. Also, dear Valleywag, never mention that big disaster Mah*lo again!

I've actually gotten along lately with Mike Arrington, who has none of the passive-aggressive smarm of Jason.

More sour grapes from Arrington, via his proxy Calacanis. Mike, here's what you're missing: Valleywag WANTS to be banned from your conference. The easiest way to neuter Valleywag is to draw them in, not shut them out. Instead, you're letting them play the outsider role, which is the lifeblood of why people read Valleywag in the first place.

And of course, on the random off-chance anything newsworthy happens at your conference, here's betting $100 that it's posted first on Valleywag anyway.

Love the smiley just after the declaration that you are "hated." Also love how the guy so regularly responds here within an hour or two of the original post, at all times of day, to declare how awful Valleywag is.

Think of the shitbag salad Calacanis would have tossed if his Silicon Alley Reporter were ever denied a conference pass.

@ "Little Nicky": I don't think Denton wants to share Calcanis' bed with you.

The sad part about it is I used to like Owen a lot (back when he had journalistic ethics), and I've started liking you more and more little Nicky (as you've grown up and started to understand how to treat people fairly).

However, VW treats people so unfairly, lies so often, and has such a lack of ethics that no one really wants you guys around.

It's one thing to stick it to folks, it's another thing to slander folks and lie. You guys crossed the line a long time ago, and we just can't subject people to the Valleywag mudpit.

Please don't take it personal.

all the best,

Jason
