Is it just me, or are public relations practitioners – in particular, the bloggers – an uber-sensitive

I think that the problem with the love-fest 2.0 is that nothing interesting ever seems to get said. It's self-destructing the blogsphere.

Brendan, I think PR people in general are "faux polite" all the time. No one will ever tell you what they really think of a competitor (unless you ask me or David Jones). Just go to a PR awards show and talk to PR people, it’s nauseating.. everyone is so "busy at work" .. "clients are the best" … everyone loves their job and their boss … it’s not just in social media circles that we all agree with each other, it’s a scrum happy mentality. I’ve been keepin’ it real for 20 years, I wish more PR people would.

Absolutely agreed on all points, Aaron, with the side benefit also being, in addition to the relationships that have sprung from this, the fact that I've learned a lot more than I might have learned otherwise... I guess I just get a tad nostalgic for those simpler, more naive days:-)...

Yeah, Tana makes it personal.

Blogging has led to sme great personal connections for me - people I would not otherwise have met. But yeah, I guess it can all be a bit faux-polite sometimes.

As for the haka, Tana always did it best...
