I am flabbergasted, a little sad, not altogether shocked, and ultimately resigned.

I am one of the millions of fans of Seth Godin.

His blog is in my reader…well..three of them are…and I lap up the tasty morsels of information and marketing knowledge that he gives out like so much gravy in my kibble.

Yeah, I know, gross analogy…let’s move on.

He had a post the other day I didn’t agree with. It’s not the first time that’s happened, but it’s the first time it happened and I knew *exactly why* it was wrong. I decided to post a comment.

(An hour of trying ot get up the nerve to question the master of new age marketing later)

Huh? What’s that?

YOU CAN’T POST A COMMENT?!

I was fine being a serf tilling the blog-land of the Master of the House. Until he gave me a broken rake, and I realized that was him giving EVERYONE a broken rake and…and…I couldn’t let anyone know.

It’s not like I was going to call him names or say he was wrong, I was going to ask for a little more clarification is all.

Has Mr. Godin become "above it all"?

Not really -  there is an "email me" link that I could use, but that’s too one on one for me, I want one degree of separation from knowing that I’m in an email box. But who’s reading that email? What if my question turns out to be stupid…I’ve now wasted someone’s time. What if my question isn’t stupid but an assistant decides it is. Now I’ve wasted MY time.

This whole conundrum would be solved by posting a comment. But I can’t.

So I’ll do the next best thing. I’ll post about it in MY blog. :)



I’d like to add a small little note here: I do not know if comments are allowed on the other blogs. Go find out! Because even if I had a problem with one post, the hundreds of others I’ve read and learned from more than make up for it. If you don’t know who Seth Godin is, pop into Google and do a search, he’s the MAN when it comes to marketing your busienss. So don’t let my one little issue turn you away from someone that can, with blog posts and books alone, take your business to new heights!
