Eric did one of the better jobs at offering a reasoned round up. Amanda was a fine adversary and possibly needed at times by the public relations industry. I didn’t mind mixing it up with them now and again, expect when the discussion broke down into boorish name calling, much like Eric’s comment section (the post was spot on). AC also took it too far at times, from what I have heard, threatening legal action and writing to have someone accreditation revoked.

AC could have been better, anonymous or not. As I once wrote, the better brand would have been the a mysterious and provocative foil for the online public relations community. But that is not what AC. So it’s all easily solved, pick up where she left off if you care that much for her memory.

Best,

You do realize that there’s a chance that some of the animosity/anger/etc was driven by…say, harassment of colleagues, legal threats towards critics, threatening emails (and not from a ‘fictional character’), don’t you?

Thick skins are fine, hell - make it two days in politics without one…but being a jackass is just that.

(btw, fan of your week in review regardless of topic. one of the better features of the site - the columns with real bylines)
