So be it
Following some trends over the weekend, I notice that some people are initiating a “boycott” against PPS simply because I now own it through my company, VCTech Network1. Some have even been touting that a particular, relatively new blog aggregator will be a potential “challenger” to PPS. I did my homework and I can tell them right now that they are wasting their time in trying to boycott a local giant. You can see the PPS statistics if you don’t believe me.
But one of the reasons given for this “boycott” is because of their unwarranted fear that I would ban anyone who disagrees with me publicly on PPS, on the premise that I banned one uncivilised lout from it. Unfortunately this notion is simply mistaken, because that thug was the only person I have banned from the system thus far. I did unban several blogs from the system and of them was Sze Hau’s blog, who was banned (unfairly, in my opinion) for a technical glitch which was not his fault. Its good to see that someone appreciates my efforts to improving PPS. Its not like I am getting any monetary benefit from unbanning him or anyone else who was previously banned by PPS.
If banning an anonymous, uncivilised bastard who was born from the gutter is going to eclipse the fact that I unbanned a decent person, so be it. If this is going cause me to be labelled as an “extremist”, so be it. I really do not care. So be it.
- Technically, however, I do not own it, VCTech Network does. [↩]
Yeah so be it. I think some ppl are scared of you because you have this some sort of 'extremist' feeling.
I did have qualms over some of your posts before but for me it is just one of those debates/arguments. No harm done.
As of you taking over PPS, a very late welcome from me. I do like the new PPS designs and the more profesional approached.
BTW, I'm not a fan of this blog. I was checking whether the takeover was true or not.
With this, I say good luck with all your endevours.
