@manton While I have great respect for Dave Winer, that post comes across as more than a little tone-deaf and not-reading-the-room to me.

For what it’s worth, I wouldn’t use the term “mad king” — for one thing, it excuses his behaviour as that someone with diminished or impaired faculties. I think Matt knows EXACTLY what he’s doing, so I’m going with “man-child” because someone needs to put him in the naughty corner for a while…
