Oh dear, I've gone and made longtime software developer Marc Canter (pictured here having a reasoned discussion) mad by printing someone's joke about him. Just as a refresher, here's what someone told me (and what I published yesterday):

Oh dear, I just did a Canter in the [redacted] presentation.

In the sense of "fell asleep in an orange shirt." Not "smoked dope first and heckled incoherently."

Or "hit on any woman present, then when told she's a lesbian suggested a threesome with my wife."

Or "hired a series of programmers and forgot to pay them."

Here's what Canter replied:

Clearly Valleywag has set new levels of blogging integrity.

I sure would like to know who claims that I asked them to do work - and refused to pay them?

Just sayin'.

Is this what blogging has stooped to? [Marc's blog]
