Some public relations [3] people are in an uproar after Wired magazine editor Chris Anderson published online the email addresses of 329 PR people who have sent him unsolicited email messages. "I've had it [4]," he wrote on his blog. "I get more than 300 e-mails a day and my problem isn't spam. ... it's P.R. people." Angry flacks responded that Anderson's behavior was "childish" and "mean-spirited." Anderson says he was "particularly amused [5] when PR people attempted to organize a class-action lawsuit against me--in my own comments! That's in addition to publishing my home address and hacking my Wikipedia entry [6]." Even the New York Times covered the brouhaha and interviewed CMD's own Sheldon Rampton, who pointed out that the conflict reflects a "love-hate relationship" between journalists and PR people. "We are a watchdog organization whose sole purpose is to critique objectionable P.R. practices, and even we get spammed by P.R. people [7]," Rampton added.
