Comment on Shock: PR person communicates badly… call the cops by Owen Lystrup

Could this be a testament to the future owning of the blogosphere.

Eventually. Way down the line. I’m talking decades upon decades here. Unless something drastic happens, the entire Internet, like much of everything else, will be privatized. Blogging included.

Does this show a hint of what that will look like in the future?

As soon a company begins a blog and conducts it in a way others don’t like, we oust them vehemently and question the company’s integrity?

Then the “pundits” jump on board and criticize everyone else involved?

Isn’t this blogosphere supposed to be a helpful, welcoming place to help communication advance?

Am I just delusional.

Either way, good post.

I’ve tried to post comments to the edelman blog as well….i think if you disagree they just don’t let them through…

OK,

I’m just glad that I’m not on my own with this issue.

After I posted it, I wondered was I being a little harsh. I’m glad it strikes other people in a similar manner.

Of course it smells of blatant opportunism and point scoring. Malpractice is an incredibly strong word. While GCI has since admitted to being the source of the posting, Edelman made the original posting after a WHOIS lookup on the source of the IP address of the comment, yet anyone with a web browser can spoof and IP address.

I agree, Tom. And I’m disappointed that my comment on his post asking what he thinks agencies like mine and his should be doing to ensure it’s not one of our interns next time, has so far gone unpublished and unanswered.

Totally on target. There is a ton of hypocrisy going on, both in the so-called GCI crisis and the raging over the dell blog…time to grow up people!

Comment on Is there something rotten in the state of Dellmark or Blogmark? by Tom Murphy

Ah Badman, as the old Irish saying goes:
“There’s none so pu-re, as the reformed whore.”

However, I think there’s a difference between coming to the defence of a project that is being pilloried, because it is not a perfect ivory tower, by the self-styled blog police.

I am certainly not perfect (though at least in my case my identity is there for all to see , however calling foul on unfair criticism is legit in my view.

And even if it isn’t, I’m not sure I care

Thanks for the comment…
TM

People in glass houses…

You are, of course, equally self-appointed and the polemic style of your piece is not altogether alien to the “immature” and “hysterical” adjectives.

Well said Tom. Bullseye. As Usual.
