The technopeasants are grabbing torches and pitchforks!
April 17, 2007
Q: What is the best way to inflame and alienate the the SF blogosphere?
A: Call everyone who publishes their work on the internet a webscab (don’t pick it, it may become infected)
Check out the blogstorm Dr. Hendrix has started, here, and here, and here,
oh, here‘s one,
or here. . .
maybe here too. . .
and April 23 is International Pixel-Stained Technopeasant Day
ADDENDUM: The webscab comment has infected non-SF blogs.

Hey, Steve, you layout here implies that there are all these people talking about webscabs. But, no, the first three all refernce the same Howard V. Hendrix’s rant, for which he is paying dearly. It’s not a big conspiracy for one guy to bring it up, one guy whom everyone gangs up on. He’s wrong, but this truly seems like a mountain made out of a molehhill.
