I also don't see where ttribe's "real life" name and/or occupation are discussed.
Come now liz, you're tech savvy. It's not that hard to connect the dots. It also helps, at this point, that I've deleted some of the links he alluded to in his blog and restricted access to my picture on LindkedIn to only those who are in my network. The point is not that I have been able to reduce some of the damage liz. The point is that if Scratch had any ethics whatsoever, I would not have had to do this in the first place. Scratch can't play fair liz. Were he to do so it would become too obvious that his "mission" is nothing more than a hate campaign. This way he can just look like a dedicated soldier for his cause through the creation of diversions on to the person, not the real issues at hand.
I suppose I was hoping that maybe Scratch had felt badly about how he had treated you, and had made some of the adjustments I had mentioned to his blog.
However, I am glad that you were able to exhibit some "damage control" to the situation.
At this point, ttribe, I am not sure what further retribution you are seeking.
You have successfully "called Scratch out", and, frankly, I think what he did was a pretty low-class thing to do.
Some folks here are fans of Scratch, and will back him regardless. There are some, like me, who basically call a spade a spade, and, in spite of my overall friendship with Scratch, have no problem calling him out when I think he's wrong, as in this case with you.
As I have explained to my friend, DCP, does it really matter what Scratch, or blind followers of Scratch think? Aren't those who are more reasonably minded the posters you are most likely to carry on meaningful conversations with, and form friendships and possible business connections with, anyway?
The point is...Shades' board, though certainly not a perfect venue, has, nonetheless, allowed you to present your case unfettered.
What more do you want, or expect? I don't really foresee an apology coming from Scratch.
But, do I think you were wronged? Yes.
Jersey Girl agrees. As does Ray. As do, I believe, most posters who have the ability to look at the episode objectively.
However, I don't really know, from this point on, what it is you are looking for.
