I&#8217;m doing this to make one point, and only one point.<\/p>\n<p>Before I make that point I want to make a few other comments.<\/p>\n<p>1) Although I agree with many of the complaints of many of my colleagues regarding the Scienceblogs administrative responsiveness, especially when it comes to technical issues, I appear to be happier than the average Sbling in that I don&#8217;t seem to be foaming at the mouth.  I&#8217;m just &#8230; interested in seeing things work better.<\/p>\n<p>2) I have mixed feelings about remaining as a Scienceblogs.com blogger, but those mixed feelings to not come from a lack of potential shared vision with Adam Bly and others, and a tad more than fifty percent of my dissatisfaction comes from my pointyheaded colleagues and the rest from SMG and the blogging platform.<\/p>\n<p>3) So, while I could be lured away from Scienceblogs.com with a reasonable offer, I also think that our problems are quite fixable, and I have already made a commitment to work in certain areas to help make those fixes happen.<\/p>\n<p>The point:  Simply this. To demonstrate that the big money (PZ) has smaller monkey friends, and that what we decide to do as a group matters, even if the group is poorly organized and consists of only one person who matters from a dollars and cents point of view.  (The truth is, folks, that there is exactly one successful blog on Scienceblogs.com, and you&#8217;re not reading it right now.  It&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/scienceblogs.com\/pharyngula\/2010\/07\/pharyngula_on_strike.php\">here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>I feel fairly badly about this. <a href=\"http:\/\/gregladen.com\/wordpress\/\">You can help me feel better by visiting my old blog and letting me know you care. <\/a> Or, just ignore me and let me die on the vine.  As you wish.  Anyway, if you want to comment, you&#8217;ll have to do it there.<\/p>\n<p>(How&#8217;s THAT for a little passive aggressive Minnesotan talk!)<\/p>\n<p>Follow on twitter: #SbSTRIKE<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gregladen.com\/wordpress\/?p=1725\"><br \/>\nLEAVE A COMMENT!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; or something.
