Furore at Michael Campbell’s Blog…
Michael Campbell is usually very reserved, professional and thoughtful.
But not this time!
At his blog he’s posted a critical comment from a newsletter subscriber.
For a start, that’s impressive and should be congratulated. How many Internet marketers would make a post at their own blog that starts with an attack on them?
I know I don’t let a single squeak of criticism about me appear on my blog. I’m 100% pro-censorship. No way would I allow negative comments… let alone start a blog post with someone saying unkind things about me.
(that was a joke, by the way. I try to let this blog be an open and free discussion. Otherwise, what’s the point? A big ego-trip for the blog publisher. Whoopee)
OK, so back to Michael’s Blog. The unkind person said things like, “What you said in IMS #115 is a bunch of cr*p” and “You are a liar”. Ouch.
So how did Michael respond?
Well, let’s just say he took his gloves off and rolled up his sleeves.

Neil,
Wow. The gloves were definitely off for that one.
Ode to the Armchair Critic. I have to admit -they get under my skin too.
I’m just not sure what purpose is served by responding to a critic in a critical manner. It kind of reminds me of the childhood game called “The Dozens”:
-Child #1 throws out an insult.
-Child #2 responds with “Oh yeah, well your mama’s so * that *****!
(repeat indefinitely)
I can’t say I blame Michael; if it weren’t for the delete button and God’s gracious intervention there would probably be hundreds of flaming email responses in cyberspace with my name on it!

I expect that Michael has received quite a few of those emails and finally decided to publish one.
I just love the way debate goes these days, “I don’t agree with your position, therefore you’re a liar.”
I read the post and I think the writer needed a good kick in the pants. I probably would have just hit the delete button and fumed. I’m kindof glad that Michael didn’t.

That was a good answer:)
Talking about believing that can be done, I just started with Liz as a Dynamite Miner and would like to know your opinion about this. So far, I like all your articles and you seem to be really honest.
Thanks
Ps:forgive my English, but this my second language, not too much TV:)
