If there is another side to the story, whats taking so long to tell it?
And if they have a good explanation, why have they been blocking people on twitter for asking for it?
- pavel_lishin 9y ago> If there is another side to the story, whats taking so long to tell it? To play devil's advocate, they need to be able to respond to the accusation well. They can't just jot something down and fire it off, right? They're starting off in a defensive position, and need to address the accusation in away that paints them as the good guys (which they might be).
- chrisbennet 9y agoThey had months to form a response. Instead they cut off communication.
- pavel_lishin 9y agoTo form a response to Upstart, yes - but not to form a response to this blog post. (Which, to be fair, as a PR company they should have known was coming, and should have had contingency planning to deal with this.)
- true_religion 9y agoIf you have no response, it's acceptable to write "We are deeply concerned about this situation regarding our former client, and will prepare a more comprehensive response to be publicized later".
- valuearb 9y agoYou’d have to be a PR agency to be able to write something like that quickly, er, wait...
- kjrose 9y agoThe blocking people asking about it on Twitter is what leads me to be concerned. While there may be an explanation, blocking third parties trying to get your side of the story seems to imply there’s something they feel they need to hide from.
