[...] Oh, by the way: Laurel is right on this matter. [...]

Some pretty average performances here.

The relationship between Gary and Laurel was relevant to the matter being discussed and should have been disclosed by Gary who was pretending objectivity.

Also, I don’t think it reflects well on the Naked guy that he publicly tweeted about unfollowing Laurel. Like a little kid in a playground telling everyone; “I’m not friends with her anymore”.

This thread just goes to show the reason why anyone who makes anonymous personal comment (just like this one – no link to a real life person) is a reflection of the worst aspects of humanity – cowardly mud slinging idiots. Shame on mumbrella for allowing it and hats off to those who ‘really’ identified themselves (regardless of what they said) in the above nonsense…

funny how the experts are so desperately territorial about something – by their own admission – we can’t and should seek to control … i.e. online and social media. Bit pointless really,

but then as they say ‘cobblers children have no shoes.’ One of life’s greatest ironies is most people are always hopeless at their own profession

Thanks, Jill. I’ve removed the posting you mention.

While I’m all for robust debate and that includes critcising ideas and executions, the line we draw is if a comment is libelous, personally insulting to someone or draws conclusions on their bias or motivation.

Cheers,

Tim – Mumbrella

Tim would be wise to remove that last comment. In fact the whole thread has no place on a reputable media blog – unless he did intention a character assassination from the outset?

The worst aspect of social media (which reflects society), is chicken shit, anonymous ‘cowardly’ commenting and blogs would do well to turn them off especially in cases like this where personal attaks appear. Not turning them off reflects the ‘Jerry Springer’ mentality of the blog owner who prefers flaming, comment wars, over civil discussion…shame on all anons and those who allow/encourage it for traffic…

Everything sad, pathetic and wrong with social media is included in this thread (including this holier than thou, but ultimately irresponsoble comment)

Gary, as you are in the know, can you please tell me 5 commercial brands in Australia that Laurel has helped in relation so social media, and what the projects were? Laurel seems to be a self proclaimed expert, but where is the evidence? And government workshops dont count

TTFKAS summed it up perfectly – “inane passive aggressive stuff wrapped up in a faux cutesy style “

TTFKAS – ‘circlejerk’ is a good term for that social bubble.

I’m someone who joined Twitter, looked at the lists, and followed Silkcharm. Then I started to find her posts a little meh and unfollowed. Did the same with servantofchaos, problogger, and various others. Each to their own I guess.
