I had a problem when Keith posted a rant about a efx2 member on his Dev blog, if he had put it on his personal blog I would have had no problem with it, same with this current situation, if it had gone onto WP's personal blog to be ranted about(as we all rant about what's bothering us) I'd be fine with it, but posting it on the front page is not right(I feel).
Sure it's a free service and sure WP and RB are doing a PHENOMENAL amount of work on the place(for free) but it should be kept professional, and dragging a persons private(as in theirs to say what they want on, not a blog with private settings per say) blog onto the very public front page isn't very professional.

Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one who got the same impression of efx3. You pretty much took the words out of my mouth.

I read that post on the front page and was quite unimpressed. I thought that it's been there less than a week and there's public squabbling already. I also thought that any new person coming upon this blog and seeing that would likely think twice about signing up. Whatever problems that had occurred with the person in question should have either been ignored or handled privately through email or PM.

I'm also rather unimpressed with the mob mentality that tolerates no dissent. One person in particular got quite emotional about it and went on at length about how he/she feels about dissent.

I've started a blog there and it's ok, but I'm not putting all my eggs in that basket. If they get it going, fine. If they don't, I've got three other blogs to post at.

It's very sad isn't it. I obviously only heard about this second hand as I will not go anywhere near efx again due to the mob mentality over there.

It doesn't surprise me in the slightest though, as I know the person involved very well and I know how petulant she can be. Someone once said that a little power in the hands of a fool is a dangerous thing, I think this is a prime example.
I was about to blog about my experience with "the mob" when I read your entry, LMC. I don't even know what to think or what to feel at this point. All I know is that I want to be honest with my feeling and emotions on my blog and not have to worry about who will read it and if they will take what I wrote and ream me out publicly for it.
I say write what you want and hopefully the mob will start to see how childish they really are.
Anyhow, there is always Vox, I've been very happy here since I was hounded out of efx.
The sad truth is, it's not the first time this has happened, I know of several people who have had the same experiences over at efx over the years, some have disappeared, some stayed and weathered the storms, others blog elsewhere.
I have found that people still follow your blogs wherever you write, especially more so after Google Reader was invented. All of my regular haunts are all over the place and with Reader I never miss anything and most places e-mail comment replies as well.
I'm sorry that someone took your entry and forwarded it to someone that wasn't on your friend's list. That wasn't cool at all. I sincerely hope that you will stick it out and not stop blogging. Call me selfish, but I would miss you and your stories entirely too much to allow you to stop and I would hate to think that this experience was enough to make you not want to blog anymore.

So, like I said before, chin up and keep blogging!!!!!!
You better not quit blogging! That's an order, lol.

I can't believe someone did that. And why? Dang, I feel you should be able to say whatever you want on your own blog. With the exception of anything criminal or hateful to the point of slandering someone. To me that's not acceptable, but not to be able to rant or complain? This is the USA , it's our right to complain, LOL!

Keith has promised he is going to keep the place going, so I'll be there until it dies, haha. I'm keeping the one on efx3 open because of the ones that left and won't come back.

That's the only reason I am keeping efx3 open too. I will only go back too visit the bloggers who left. I get the feeling they want a more "exclusive" club over there. I got the impresion you can rant about things all you want as long as it isn't about the actual blog site. Apperantly even this posting was found upsetting.

I'm pretty sure I know who it was that felt they needed to share this post. Apparently they must feel it is OK to copy/paste/send things from other peoples blog.....I find that kind of funny since this person most times has their blog set to private and I'm sure they wouldn't be too happy if it was done to them.

Just another reason to go back to 2 and hope Keith sticks around this time.

I don't trust Keith's dedication to efx2 at all, he's disappeared too many times and just because he says he's back for good doesn't mean he will be. We have all heard that song and dance routine before...
That said I don't love efx3 yet either, it's too new, they should have had everything up, running and in place before they opened their doors, I know..I know they wanted to let people in asap so there was a place to go if/when efx2 wasn't renewed, but there should have been at least a week of "beta" testing before the masses were let in.

My thoughts exactly! I know the whole mess with Katya was over her not so glamourus and yes, insulting way she posted it, but it does give the feel of "don't comment about a work in progress"

if I were to have made this same same comment you just made on another blog I would be getting a toungue lashing!

Sadly I don't trust either site, but like efx2 too much to leave. I was going to keep the efx3 one as a place to keep up with bloggers that have moved over their, but I am getting the feeling I am not welcome over their!

After commenting on someone's blog regarding being able to voice my frusterations with efx2 and not fear Keith getting angry for them...I was told to "go to the local 7-11 and buy some cucumbers and go fuck myself"....then that person quickly edited thier comment, but not before I saw it...too bad...maybe then others would see that my feelings have merit.

Hey LMC... if nothing else, all of this served to reveal the character of a person or two, which others may have not been aware of.

And, another positive... I was able to find out that you are still blogging at efx2. For some reason, my Google RSS Reader wasn't updating for you and didn't show anything new for ages... I thought you dropped out of blogging.

Knowing you're still around, I tweaked my reader, and now have it updating again.

So... huzzah!!!
