Spin Doctors

So things have changed. Many people have ignored what has happened and will go on with their lives and businesses. They figure that it does not affect them. They do not have to worry about it. Maybe, maybe not. But an new undercurrent of fear is now in the forums. Some sellers are slowly moving on to other venues and new people may choose to not sign up. I am not sure what was supposed to have been accomplished by this. Did they meet their objectives? Or did this back fire as I have suspected and now they have let loose any hold they may have had.
And remember not all publicity is good publicity. So what kind of spin will they attempt to put on it? I will be waiting for that.

  1. Only the loud mouths who disrupt and insult are leaving or threatening to leave because of this. They are afraid they will be next so it's better for them to go on the offensive since they cannot defend their crap. I say goodriddance. People are sick of them and their attitudes. W

    It's really too bad that you are so caught up with this -- you're work is beautiful and you would be better off working on new items than obsessing about rude jerks.

  2. Goodness, such vitrol! I don't even know how to respond to this.
    I believe that being outspoken is not the same as being rude. I value all our voices and opinions and feel that the forums are somehow made smaller and meaner by their absence.

    That's incredibly narrow-minded, to think that only the "loud mouths" are leaving Etsy because of this issue.

    The fact is that we may never know how many people are taking their proverbial eggs out of Etsy's basket. So it's probably not best to get all high and mighty (especially when one's IP address is being recorded).

    I know who left that comment so if she thinks she is anonymous she is not. My friends think I should "out" her but I am not sure I want to play her game. Do you care to let the world know who you are?

    Lord, it is pretty obvious by the tone of this post, which loud mouth this is coming from....

    Hello - you were the only who who posted constantly on the UEN - heck, you started on the first page of posts, for how many days straight?
    And, even after your Etsy muting was up, you continued to post on UEN... we know what you think, believe, feel - ENOUGH already.

    The biggest loudmouth, the one who has to discuss each and every mundane aspect of her live on the Etsy fora is still there, she is not going anywhere unfortunately.

    As far as your comment about those that are leaving Etsy, there are a lot more than the vocal people leaving Missy, some day when you mature and perhaps become a reflective person, you can look back at your actions here and wonder what you were thinking. I can only hope that for you as I would want any human to continue to mature and develop.

  10. Certain anonymous comments are so insane they make me laugh to read them. The first one on this page is just such a comment.
