On a response to a blog attack 

You published a post commenting on my article and used my name in a post on your company blog first.  I’m open for positive discussion, but it’s a business blog, so rants off topic on previous blog posts infused with negativity aren’t appropriate.  I wrote what I really thought and used keywords relevant to a real position I hold.  I ALLOWED you to comment out of respect, but your recent comments have gone too far (linking to an attack article on businessweek).  I’m not attacking you, I used your personal name in the post, because the post specifically addressed you, optimization is not a black art, I target all my blog posts – that’s smart marketing. 

If you watch any of the SEO debates ( like the calcanis one in particular ) you’ll see many posts with proper names in the titles.  You’re a blogger and what you write in your business blog (mine too) is open for critique by other bloggers, but I don’t have to allow negative rants in the comments on my business blog.  If you continue attacking me on MY business blog all your comments will be removed. (I’ll put a public notice saying I did this for the record).  Nothing personal, no more pissing matches.  I wish you luck with your future endeavors and hold nothing personal against you.
