re: Cisco Socked with Shareholder Suits It's not the first time LR removes messages. It happened to me twice. I feel that it is a very disturbing attitute. If LR aspires to be a respectable news magazine it must strive for higher journalistic standards. Of course, to be fair, LR has the god-given right to be concerned about potential lawsuits against it ( with or without merit). But again there is a saying: if you are afraid of heat you should not go in the kitchen.
Frankly I have no idea what criteria LR uses to purge messages, or report companies uneven-handedly ( ie: why it is harsh to some and very accomodating to others). And it would help if the editor stands up and lays down the rules publicly.

regards,

re: Cisco Socked with Shareholder Suits vineyards00,

I only wish I could get my company to advertise with LR but we're running a tight ship with the recent environment. Interesting times.

re: Cisco Socked with Shareholder Suits Also had my contribution pulled. It had no profanity, so slanders, no inaccuracy.

Steve - what is going on there? Why are you killing Freedom of Speech?

re: Cisco Socked with Shareholder Suits Steve,

Do you know if any of your pals in Cisco Marketing/PR will be packaged in the 8,500+ being let go. You really seem to have them pissed at you.

Keep up the good work.

re: Cisco Socked with Shareholder Suits Can somebody tell me how was this rating calculated?

And let us give Steve a chance of rebuttal before we hang him.

Come on Steve. If you don't reply than you have something to hide.

Vineyard,

This so-called study begins with the following paragraph "Below is part of an extensive study that an intern on my team put together."

Come on, an "extensive" study put together by an "intern"? How did he assigned the grades - darts or dices?

And this is the same guy who complains that LR lacks depth ...

re: Cisco Socked with Shareholder Suits Don't you guys have any work to do? No wonder LR has negative coverage of your companies. Instead of developing products you are making silly web pages "proving" the LR caters to its advertisers in editorial content. One suspects that you are as rigorous at developing products as your are in "proving" bias, which is to say, quite weak. If you are representative of the quality of people your company can hire, well, I'd say the problem is obvious.

re: Cisco Socked with Shareholder Suits Take the study down, dismiss it as non-factual and written by someone with an axe to grind or without credibility.

Hmmmm...sounds a lot like what the readership has been accusing the staff here of doing over the past several months. Only problem is that those impacted by bad stories can't yank the stories down.

The stats of the study do tell a tale....albeit a cloudy one. Some of the companies who get slammed, deserve it. They tell stories, they do not deliver and they have screwed people out of a lot of money due to ignorance, incompetance and or dishonesty. However, it does seem odd that the other companies do not take the hits when there can be no claims that they have it all figured out either.

The policy of taking people down for being "offensive" is clear hypocracy when you consider the slanted coverage that takes place. (Yes, this site does some good things as well mind you and you can get news here)

Can't have it both ways folks....... you have now compromised the boards in a way that stifles opinions and you can't do that. Telling people who criticize you that they have to behave in the way that you want them to is contrary to your whole way of life. Being willing to criticize is what you started out as.
