I am not happy with the villifying of Seal Press I’ve seen in the blogosphere recently. No, not happy at all. There, I said it.
I wonder what people expect. And I mean realistic expectations. How would YOU react if you were Brooke and Krista? Seriously?
They are not this big mythical insulated power-house super-corporation. They are people. Just people. Like all the rest of us.
I guess I can relate because people have pulled shit like this with “criticizing” PodCamp Atlanta and Sex 2.0… and it’s like, HEY. This is a one-person operation. (And specific to these two cases, they are unconferences, so if you don’t like what’s going on, fix it instead of just complaining, like the guy who was whining about the sound quality on some of the podcasts.)
Also this irritates me because, well, Seal Press has done a lot for publishing women’s voices. And this is the kind of thing that just… does not sit well with me. It makes me itch.
Okay, that’s all I’ve got for now. I would say more but I’m afraid of people coming over here and trying to rip me a new asshole, and then expecting me to be all gracious about their “criticism.”
Also I am waiting for the BBC to call me back about a radio interview and trying not to freak out. Nerves, be calm! It’s probably a good thing I didn’t have any caffeine this morning. I hope my cell phone doesn’t lose reception when/if they call.

I’m almost wishing you *would* start a friends-only LJ.
Ah, I should just do more password-protected posts. But I always feel like such a drama queen sending out mass emails w/ the password in them.

Yep. And that’s what email’s for, anyway.
I meant, email is for discussing things you feel nervous about publishing.
