I really do think it would be a social good if there was a forum where corporate scientists could blog, get comments and respond to comments without multiple layers of marketing, legal and PR BS filtering.

That is why there is an uproar on Chris’ blog. His latest comment is no better, as neither of you are willing to acknowledge that his issue of accepting a lie without confirmation is different than William’s issue of lying and supporting it with sockpuppetry.

2) Who cares? I don’t have a dog in this fight as I never read YNH until the last two weeks. Who would believe anything he wrote, or anything his commenters said?

3) Does SB want corporate sponsorship and keep it’s integrity? If yes, then they need to lay out rules for corporate blogs and have real science people, not PR flaks, post there.

They had corporate blogs before and the were fine (they were not advertorials)so this was just one more. Those who made the decision did not realize the difference. Now Science blogs may need the income from these guy and hosting their blog is fine, they just need to make sure it looks and is known to be in different category from all the other blogs. They should not be able to garner the independent respectability created by you guys. The blogs should look a bit different and have special heading.

Perhaps he can blog about how cute babies are.
