Don’t Feed the Trolls Part Deux: Tales from the Snake-Pit1 min read

Posted on August 25, 2008 by 1WineDude

in commentary

Remember earlier today, when I said it was “Non-Post Week” here at 1WineDude.com?

Ok, so I lied.

Well, I didn’t intend to lie, it just, kind of… you know… happened.

I’m interrupting (already!) our previously scheduled ‘Non-Post’ week non-event to share with you a link to my buds over at Wine Biz Radio, who were kind enough to have me on today’s episode of their radio show / podcast, where I discuss my thoughts on the recent Wine Spectator chaos, as well as my recent experience “interacting” in their on-line forum (a.k.a, “the snake-pit“).

Check it out here: http://winebizradio.com/articles/winebizradio-20080825/ .

Ok. Back to not posting. I promise this time!

Cheers!

    I actually know people who still drink MD… :-P

    weeree san – alright, alright… I *know* ;-) But the radio show was *before* you folks told me to stop wasting my time on the forum. Of course, that doesn’t explain why I am still posting over there… (doh!)

    As stated on Twitter, it’s not worth the initiation fee and the headache. I’m afraid your good deeds and suggestions are falling on deaf ears…
