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:)
