You shouldn't consider it a personal attack. I am attacking a post, but not you personally. In fact, more than an attack it is a defense of Aviva, whose livelihood was attacked.

I do disagree with using that criteria to judge a web directory. There are more useful and meaningful criteria. And again, I did not attack you personally or SEOmoz as an organization. I did attack the statement issued by you and yours that attacked Aviva.

If you think I was anything other than restrained in my response, I would suggest you re-read your attack on Aviva. It was entirely uncalled-for, an the tone of the attack was demeaning.

I never said SEOmoz sucks, but I do understand the sentiments of members who said that. You viciously attacked a member of this community. If somebody attacked you without provocation, we would defend you in the same manner.
