Anonymous,
Perhaps you're hoping that Mr. Bubble is wrong about Battelle and that you won't have your life ruined by him as well.
I'd like to point out, if I may, one lie that I've noticed on FM's site:
http://www.federatedmedia.net/?tab=1
In Dooce's little dishonest "sell" it reads, "Technorati's Top 100 most influential blogs puts Dooce at #12."
Dooce is not rated #12 by Technorati and has not been for a very long time, way before anyone thought to whore her blog to Federated Media's naive advertisers. She's been into the 20's as far as Technorati's ratings, before anyone wrote that lying blurb. It's a lie now and it was a lie when it was written.
What other lies would we find, about FM's collection of sites, that he is telling to sell ads? Someone should look into that.
Lying to sell ads. What does that make Battelle? What does that make you, as his defender?
Stupid.
I assume you are already in bed with Battelle in some way and that probably makes you desperate as well as stupid.
Good luck! You'll probably need it.
I don't see a whole line of folks itching to defend him. I just see you and a tiny handful bloggers who got too greedy to look closely at who they were signing up with until it was too late.
Where are all the folks who've had long histories of honest successful business dealings with Battelle?
Dude, you are obsessively hopeful and delusional and you should be trying to figure out a way to save your own skin, if you still have time, instead of calling Mr. Bubble names for telling a story that might actually help some people, if they are smart enough to pay attention.
Everyone addresses each other as "Dude" in this world, I see.
Thank you both for the interesting comments.
