[...] Because of those real-world factors, I disagree is that bloggers should expect their guidelines to be followed. My experience in online gaming (please bear with me, it is relevant), both as a player and admin, has taught me a very important truth. Creating a rule against any action allowed by the technology is futile. You end up spending too many resources on enforcement, which is never comprehensive. Bloggers who insist that they be pitched perfectly according to the rules they’ve defined will have to spend time on enforcement. In terms of email, the system is designed so that you can send a message to anyone, provided you have their address. The recipient has no power to prevent email being sent to them. The work-around that was suggested is to filter out emails based on domain, that’s the prerogative of the blogger if that is how they want to enforce their rule. However, posting the list of their blocked individuals or domains doesn’t help them enforce the rule any better but becomes counter-productive to their cause by escalating the conflict. [...]

theregoesdave - Read the post, dude. I’m not really suggesting blacklisting bloggers, just using a dramatic headline to make a point and open the conversation. Thanks for chiming in though.

Let me make sure that I have a clear understanding of what you’re saying here. You start by saying what a deplorable practice publicly blacklisting PR professionals is and then go on to start a public blacklist of bloggers?

Honestly, I agree that there are some unprofessional bloggers out there just like there are unprofessional PR people. Please don’t become one.
