What Would Beth Ask?

Bombastic blogger, Kevin Tomlinson, knows how to rile up the crowds. Most of you met Kevin through the Project Blogger competition, hosted by Activerain.com. Kevin never disappoints. He made the dramatic statement that he believed...

Bloodhound Blog would be shut down by Friday.

Kevin's not mean, he just likes a little controversy.

I thought I'd try to practice the WWDGD principle and attempt to get meaningful input from the crowd. I expected to be baited by the irrelevant but chose to ignore them; this conversation is too important for the practitioners. Scroll through the comment thread and you'll see where Kevin's broker, Beth Butler, started to go into a state of curiosity rather than remain in a state of judgment.

Well that was some interesting reading, I've been gone for about 10 days and apparently missed all of this. BHB is still up...I know that much.

Brian, What are you selling? I read your BHB but was thoroughly confused. Do I have to attend this "Unchained" thing to figure it out?

I'm not sure where you are all going with it.

I'm trying to move the conversation to where it rightfully belongs, Neal; about issues that affect our business daily. I agree that the comments got ridiculous. I'm hosting a conference, in May, to address these specific issues and many people have tried to sabotage it. Obviously, that disappoints me. I've invested time and money to put this conference together and it is nothing short of astonishing that saboteurs would attack.

Thanks for the question, Neal; the answer is that I'm trying to stick to the issue of education, regardless of what the gadflies say.

Brian,

Thats cool...I didn't read all those juicy comments but did read quite a few. I have gone over to bloodhound but not enough to keep up with that riff raff and if that some how hurt you then you are right and I would probably be pissed off as well if it jeopardized what I was trying to accomplish. I didn't have a enough time to keep up with the whole thing but was interested in hearing what happened by directly asking you.

Kind of like commenting on a localism post but with inappropriate comments that consumers might not want to see.
