Daniel,



I've already said that I didn't like, or agree with, the video he posted
(which wasn't on a PodTech property, but did have a logo next to it).



I'm working on this issue with Steve Gillmor and the editorial team here.
I'm not able to act quickly here, nor alone. This will take a little while
to play itself out and I'm sorry about that.

Subject: [videoblogging] for Podtech re: racist posts by Loren Feldman and
lack of responsibility



Loren Feldman has continued to post Podtech branded videos with
followup videos, playing at some lame game after a terrible racist
video. At this point, it is clear that Podtech hasn't taken action,
which infers that it is tolerating this work. The unfunny racist
rants are despicable, and I think that the investors and sponsors at
Podtech have every reason to want to distance themselves from it.

I've communicated with John Furrier and Robert Scoble, and I always
believe that their hearts are in the right place. However, it is time
for some action, and for one company to do the right thing and sever
ties with this poison.

What is Podtech's point of view? Where are the public statements. In
this case silence means that they are supporting this poison.

I appreciated Loren Feldman, in fact early on, I did an homage or
spoof of him for LateNiteMash http://lnmshow.latenitemash.com/?p=52

He crossed the line, and took Podtech with him. John, Robert, where
are you? Sometimes, enough is enough. This was far too much.
Please, pull the plug, and stand up tall. This will not go away.

Stand for decency, for responsibility. Stand against stupid racist
rants, against pandering to the worst in people. Stand tall, and say
it as loud as you can, we will not tolerate such ignorance masking
itself as humor, such blatent ugliness and intolerance have no place
in our circles. It is not funny, it is wrong. Stand tall, Podtech,
and do the right thing.
