I live in an economically depressed area (the Rust Belt). Prior to this I worked as tech support for a small, local dial up ISP. Needless to say, there isn't much demand for that these days with DSL and Cable being so affordable and prolific. I'm sure McD's will find someone else to flip their burgers or work their drive up window.

We do not get unfounded accusations. ... Since our customers are mostly SEO companies, they look at these things.

I wasn't referring so much to your customers as to some of the bloggers posting in this thread about their own experiences blogging for PPP.

I am astonished at the fact that some PayPerPost people are offended that we choose not to use blogs that our advertisers do not like. I'm even more shocked at the hatred and name calling I see on your forum, that is aimed at me personally. We're running a business here, giving th advertisers what they want - it's nothing personal.

For better or worse, PPP gives a lot of latitude with free speech on the forum. Sometimes, that anger is aimed at PPP, too. As an admin there, I think long and hard before locking a thread and I've never deleted one yet. (Others have, though)
It's a large, passionate community and sometimes tempers flare. Also, PPP the company and PPP's bloggers have been attacked by some big name bloggers like Calacanis and Arrington. Some of us get very defensive over anything that seems like an attack.
