I cannot believe that all of this is even possible in this day and age. Shoemoney posts mybloglog hacks and exploits. Eric gets pissed and bans Shoe and then major players in search boycott Mybloglog in hopes to get Shoe back into mybloglog. Eric apologizes and admits he is wrong.

WTF!!!!

Is the only reason Eric is apologizing because major players in search are NOT placing the mbl widget on their site? I mean perhaps he made a judgement call that was less then ideal but if eric made the decision to ban another blogger for the same reason instead of banning shoe would the blog community REALLY stand behind that blogger like they did Shoe? Probably NOT!

If this happend to an average blogger would industry professionals even care enough to post a “boycott”? I seriously doubt it! The fact that shoe has friends in high places makes his scope of influence much greater then any small time blogger. It makes me feel good inside to think that power players would make such an ordeal for the average joe but that is just not real life.

The only thing that the mybloglog boycott will accomplish is making eric unban shoe but at the very LEAST this whole ordeal has increased the popularity of mybloglog and in a month no one will remember this situation.

In my opinion both Shoe and Eric are in the wrong.

Shoe posted and promoted the use of hacks and exploits on mybloglog. After his posts hundreds of people would have manipulated mybloglog which is definitely a banable offense (if an average blogger did this and caused many people to hack mybloglog there would be NO question of a ban). It would have been good for him to email eric first and then make the post OR make his post but leave out the DETAILS on how to do it.

Eric, you should have never banned him unless you where going to stick to your guns. Now it looks like you can be pushed around.
