I find your position to be on some shaky ethical ground here, Vincent.
I think it is completely acceptable to want to use your site to publicize a payment problem at MWP to maybe get some gears in motion over there.
What's questionable is when that publicity is an aggressive, divisive and unsubstantiated attack on the company calling for a boycott by someone who does not have any actual active interest in the issue but does have a clear ideological agenda.
You got the result you wanted, it seems, with Cam responding in a responsible way (wow, big surprise there).
But you could have gotten it just as effectively without creating a lot of negativity and further division within our community.
And where is Ben now? For someone calling for corporations to take responsibility for their actions, I don't see him taking any responsibility for his words here.
