But the EEC lost their value by spamming their members. They broke THE rule (!) and have yet to make any moves to right the situation.

Doesn't that count for anything? Well, the EEC did standardize the spelling of the word “email”! Doesn’t that count for anything?

Could you clarify? All I see is somebody who spammed, has made it clear in follow up comments that they *don't* get it, and seemed to have missed the opportunity for contrition and education. I don't see Ken as responsible for any of that, nor Laura. I’m not seeing which organization Ken (or Laura) “destroyed,” Tamara. Could you clarify?

He made his point last week and the eec heard it. I don't think there is a need to rub it in. The eec made a really bad and ugly mistake but you can take my word for it that they have learned from it and that it will not happen again. I am not going to blog about this because I really do believe in the value of the EEC and what it brings to the industry. It's okay to call out a mistake, but do you really need to destroy an organization that is so worthwile? I don't think so... Just my 2 cents... Wow, Ken really is on a war path, isn’t he?
