Debbie goes to such great lengths to impress upon the reader the importance of transparency and honesty, and then contravenes her own golden rule.

Yes I think you're right, the problem people had with it was the comment<BR/><BR/>"No need to say that you know me, of course."<BR/><BR/>Such a throwaway line, but in the bodylanguageless world of the internet, loaded with undehanded meaning. Of course. <BR/><BR/>That's pretty much the conclusion Neville Hobson (from the FIR podcast) came up with in his verdict.Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09657138758289333314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-385641437239622429.post-37950517368981360702007-07-23T14:59:00.000+12:002007-07-23T14:59:00.000+12:00Great post Simon, I'd seen the tail end of this wh...Great post Simon, I'd seen the tail end of this whole discussion but not the email from Debbie Weil that started it all. (I've also discovered what astroturfing is in the process - thanks!) <BR/><BR/>Whatever you think of Debbie's email request for comments on a blog that she has advised on, I think what's really riled people is the (unnecessary?) request from Debbie not to reveal that they know her in any comments. Smacks of underhandedness.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14798485890025132760noreply@blogger.com
