Free speech not so Flock-ing Free in the Blogosphere?
It's amazing the extent some will go with their comment moderation on their blog. About 10 days ago I posted a thank you on the Flock blog to say well done to all the guys for getting the memory leak that had annoyed so many users fixed and out in a reasonable length of time. Nothing major, just a few lines thanking Mike Dosik and all the team for their hard work on it. I checked the page and it had appeared ok alongside 1 other.
A couple of days later I signed up on the Flockstar roll call invitation page and filled in the info on my blog post links regarding Flock. Well now, some of these postings were related to testing after my install of the version with the memory leak (0.7.4.1), and although not scathing they were expressing a "keen interest" in getting a build drop with the fix.
Wouldn't ya know it, those in the newly opened Canadian Flock office (I know this from my counter stats) must have read said postings and decided that they didnt want me as a Flock star and removed my comment from the maintenance release (0.7.5.1) announcement posting. What a bunch of tossers, they actually removed a thank you comment so nobody would see the link back to my blog.
Let's just leave it at this, I'm gonna test Windows Live Writer cos I've been reading good things about it the last couple of days , and since I can post directly to Blogger from it maybe Flock can just Flock off my PC!

Blogged with Flock
Extremely childish, honestly, those lads shouldn't be in the business if they can't take a bit of criticism on the chin!
p.s. I gave up on Flock long ago, Firefox gives me all I need.
p.p.s. you seem to have some layout issues in Firefox, my guess it's the Soulcast banners which are too wide.
