Doin’ it for the publicity

I hate bush leaguers. I abhor those who exploit people who can’t defend themselves. I hate more when people use the negative rumors of others to promote themselves.

Len Gutman of Valley PR Blog has proven himself one of these people. It’s one thing to talk of or even trash the dead, but trashing those who have passed to promote yourself is bullshit.

Do that crap on your own time on a blog with YOUR name on it, not on a site that has grown popular because of the involvement with others. Many of us in the Valley feel a kinship with the Valley PR Blog, and embrace it as a community project. Grabbing that microphone to broadcast your own venom is selfish and wrong.

Get it together.

EDIT: I wonder if any of these other blogs have posts like Len’s. I doubt it.

I founded Valley PR Blog and I invited the others to join. If you don’t like my opinions, don’t read it.
