How to be the most hated person on the Internet: Five role models | Webware - CNET Dave Winer Image via Wikipedia These are the kind of articles that appear in a publication when they are losing readership ! It is obvious that Author is fixated on Dave Winers Credentials as Loren Feldman is with Shel Israel’s Puppet ! If he actually believes any one is angry at Dave Winer he has a problem ! Winer just speaks his mind but with fact check and great content creation skills ! I will define fixation for the functional illiterate at C-Net Fixation (psychology), the state in which an individual becomes obsessed with an attachment to another human, an animal, or an inanimate object ! Feldman is fixated with a Puppet the man who wrote this article may be fixated on the Credential’s of Dave Winer which I am sure he lacks ! the C-net Author plays a non zero sum game There is a game called Chicken, in which two people drive two very fast cars towards each other from opposite ends of a long straight road. If one of them swerves before the other, he is called a chicken. Of course, if neither swerves, they will crash. The worst possible payoff is to crash into each other, so we assign this a value 0. The best payoff is to have your opponent be the chicken, so we assign this a value 3. The next to worst possibility is to be the chicken, so we assign this a value 1. The last possibility is that both drivers swerve. Then, neither has less honor than the other, so this is preferable to being the chicken. However, it is not quite as good as being the victor, so we assign it a value 2. We could assign a payoff matrix to this: Swerve Drive Straight Swerve 2, 2 1, 3 Drive Straight 3, 1 0, 0 Now Dave Winer who has a solid base in mathematics understands this game !
