What I’m referring to is the fact that Novell is approaching bloggers behind everyone’s back. It sometimes asks for good publicity (I have seen this) or twists their arms after they criticise Novell (and rightly so). I defend the site here. Taking it off your turf, so to speak, is another matter altogether, especially if you have the financial resource that Novell has.

How can you equate defending one’s company, whether in the right or the wrong, with controlling what bloggers say? That’s an error in your logic.

You have certainly been defending this site since its inception. Does that mean you’re trying to control what people say about it?
