Recently i read something that was quite a bit disturbing, a post on the official wordpress discussion site, about Colin (Cheap SEO Services), here Matt of WordPress posts
Source: http://wordpress.org/extend/ideas/topic.php?id=553&page#post-2584
I just deleted a comment with a personal attack and one from “CheapSEOServices” (I wish I was kidding). On his site he advertises “US$100 = We write the article and submit to 200 blogs. (68 ip’s)” He voted this idea down. – Matt
I’ve personally known col for a good amount of time and never have i ever found him offensive, clueless at times maybe but never offensive.
“I basically said it was a bad idea to take the option out for designers….” – Collin
Now what Matt has said is not just slandering Colin its also a big misunderstanding, Collin is a very very respected Marketer/SEO amongst Webmasters, and sponsoring designs is nothing but generous.
Update
Recently Colin told me that he has been blocked from the wordpress site and left with the following message:
You’ve been blocked. If you think a mistake has been made, contact this site’s administrator.
Now, Matt what do you have against Colin exactly?

I want this story to die down. I am not looking to attack Matt or anyone else. Matt might have been a bit sensitive because I told him he should use a spellchecker before posting
I did go into bat for WP Theme designers but in no way was it offensive or attacking.
