Customer questions Six Apart's decisions. Six apart employee [livejournal.com profile] anildash responds with hand-waving and personal attacks. He invokes his insider status and then disingenuously calls his shilling for the company "personal," and then says the customer is being deliberately dishonest.

Hey, Anil? Even if [livejournal.com profile] springheel_jack was wrong, even if he is guilty of everything you said, you are not entitled to behave that way. At least have the courtesy to put on a sock puppet before you abuse us.

I'm waiting for the public apology.

Guys, we paid for this thing. If you want to keep getting paid just for being Top Bloggers, you can't keep shitting on your customers, even if the customers make you very, very angry. I learned that as a Radio Shack clerk 22 years ago, and I continue to practice it as a well-paid technology professional.

[livejournal.com profile] anildash should have his LJ suspended and get a week off work without pay. If you want to be a jerk, go blog for free and get a real job.

Totally agree with you. People put their fucking HEARTS AND SOULS on their ljs (well, I do) and any notion that lj will be threatened is emotionally frightening.

Why these idiots can't understand that and respond accordingly is beyond me.

It alarms me that the response was so cagey and defensive. It makes one wonder what's going on behind the curtain.

As an aside, personally I think the ads backlash is overblown since we still have a choice to reject the commercial side of this. Let the idiots pimp out their ljs.

Thinking of joining in the argument.
