Something happened recently that really irks me.

WordPress is doing a disservice to the blogging community by singling out honest, legitimate businesses who create and sell training materials on how to best us your WordPress blogs.

What did they do? Not only did they send cease and desist letters, they also called such sites "scammy" and "snake oil businesses" simply because -- or so it seems -- they use salesletters to promote their wares.

There's more to the story than this. So please read my latest blog post for more:

My question is, what do you think?

This can be easily added to the thread on this board titled "Are long copy salesletters scams?" The point is, most scams do use salesletters. But not all salesletters are scams.

I'm a tad insulted. And their remarks seem to border on the libelous, which is going to hurt them if they're not careful...
