Very cool, Mary. 

As a contributor to BHB, we're taking this on in a big way.

Given your largesse, I opt to pay. I'll stop here, as you've gotta hurry up and pull all those blogs outa storage. :)

Thanks Greg. I am so glad there are people like you and Andy out there keeping this thing in the spotlight and letting poor Vlad go it alone. Together our spheres of influence should be large enough that we can rally the "minions" as Ben called us in his Inman interview to make some lemoade out of these lemons.
That interview was disgraceful and I am disappointed that Inman seemed to take the side of ePerks over Vlad. It's nice for ePerks to fall back on the slander aspect now but we all know this legal bullying started long before the whole Yahoo Answers thing. Vlad was being threatened from back when he wrote that second post. I guess ePerks thinks free speech is a bunch of hooey. They ought to have considered that befire they entered the pay per post game.

If we don't put a stop to ePerks trying to silence a blogger, before we know it we will be next.  The whole purpose of blogging is to tell it like it is, we live in America and that gives us that right.  No single company should be to get away with this.  I like Mary's idea, they are one we are many.  They are about to learn what goes around comes around.

I posted on my ActiveRain blog to save Vlad Zablotskyy.  That will reach a wide audience.

This situation is despicable, as is the video eperks has on YouTube, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MchASMPezWA. My post is written and 'Im mad as hell!'

Fantastic post Mary.

It's hard to believe that this freedom of speech issue hasn't garnered more attention.

Here is my post: http://www.portlandspearldistrict.com/index.php/spreading-the-word-about-e-jerks/

Don't let this give give us Ben's a bad name!!!

I sure do hope that my post helps as well.  Mary, thank you for all you are doing to help the future of all of us RE Bloggers.
