Quite simple – because Brian Connolly, Amanda Chapel, Strumpette, and anyone/thing else attached to Brian are all one and the same.

Well documented records of this date back as far as 1997 when he tried being some Abbie chick (and likely further than that if you REALLY wanted to waste a day looking for Brian’s past yet similar exploits). Like the quintessential school-yard bully he thrives on this behavior. Too bad too – if Brian actually put as much effort into being productive as he does in his current behavior he could actually BE somebody, and not a figment of his own imagination.

Would we expect that everything Jim Lehrer says at any time is a statement on behalf of PBS? Or Rush Limbaugh of the Infinity broadcast group, or whoever he blathers for? Or Howard Stern for Sirius?

I am reminded of a Stephen King quote to the effect that sometimes he writes something just to figure out what his opinion was; he didn’t know it ’til he wrote it down.

I think that blogs are often used for this purpose, and I am quite happy to let them be so. In any case, I think that Joe’s last response is a sound one. He’s made his points; Strumpette has made its; let’s all move on.

Here we go… when your argument is weak, attack the messenger. And when the dissenter has anticipated that kind of literal-minded thinking and as such, comments anonymously, throw the “transparency” card. That’s total crap. For the record, the issue being discussed is Corporate Tourettes and whether Joe speaks for his own company. If you have nothing to offer in that regard, kindly shut up!

With regard to woeful ignorance of the principles of communications, we at Strumpette will throw down with ANYONE in the business. That’s any time. Name it.

Lastly, what pray tell do you think the Literati Group has to do with Strumpette? For the record, nothing. We are hosted by WePublishing, Inc. But also for the record, they have zero control or influence over what we say or publish.

You’ve made your points. I’ve made my points. I hear you. We don’t agree. ‘Nuff said. Time to move on.

Why should any of us pay any attention to the “wisdom” offered by Literati Group and Strumpette, when they have consistently demonstrated woeful ignorance of the most rudimentary principles of commuinication?

Excuse me, this sentence doesn’t change in any context: “So, while people (including me) are not speaking for the company, we cannot avoid linkages being made.” You apparently believe that there are moments where you do not represent the company that bears your name. That’s nonsense. So wonder young Chris is confused.

PS For the record, Brian recused himself from this exchange.

Be fair. Read my whole comment. You misconstrued what I said.

Classic. I rest my case.

PS When I think about quitting Strumpette every so often; that’s why. The insanity and naivety of your statement Joe is absolutely incurable. I am sorry.
