Dave Winer got flamed and parodied when he complained about CSS in the mildest of terms, blaming CSS designers for smearing ketchup on his tie
. But when JWZ complains in a more blunt fashion that Web designers, and especially blogging web designers, are self-important fuckheads
, all he gets is help and good advice.
Why? Perhaps because of the blogging/LiveJournal divide, perhaps because people are just much happier to dump on Dave.
