<description><![CDATA[In any social community, it's critical to take feedback from users, grow &amp; apologize. It's especially true for writers, who have a special responsibility when granted a podium. This does not need to go hot. It's not news. Thanks for reading it. There are too many threads to comment in all so I submit here. We are part of an industry quick to criticize and I'm looking forward to seeing if it has the capacity to forgive. I appreciate the perspective of every comment in the SEOmoz &amp; Sphinn threads, proud to be a search marketer, want to be a good steward of our industry and grateful for the privilege of being a search blogger. Thanks to all for your passion, integrity and willingness to truly share what's on your minds. I wanted to get the post right so I asked Rand and Rebecca if I could rewrite it. They allowed it and you'll find the edited version on YOUmoz. The original comments thread is intact.The first version of this avatar theory post created a different kind of buzz than intended when published on the homepage of SEOmoz/blog earlier this week. The reaction surprised us all. In it I quoted Matt Cutts from, what I now know he perceived to be, a private conversation.I apologized to Matt after he publicly unsubscribed to SEOmoz as a result. Since he's Google's highly visible ambassador of spam reduction and when someone (in this case me) quotes something he said said about spam--it can cause a fracas. I was naive.It's also true that I levied a sarcastic poke at 3 SEOs I respect a lot, by linking out to them on the anchor text &quot;tree hugger SEOs.&quot;  My bad. Honestly the phrase didn't seem all that rough and tumble to us and I met no offense. I want to specifically apologize To Li who is a very sweet person, talented SEO and I think the world of. Though it was not about retribution, at least one of the outbound Tree hugger SEO links was to someone who's called me worse. :) Still I understand why the reference could hurt someone's feelings (especially if they did not see the smile on my face and voice inflection) and for that I'm truly sorry. I will say I am a proud tree-hugger myself, usually whilst tapping a Vermont Maple for syrup.Avatars are an important topic. The SEOmoz community is comprised of amazing thinkers and theorists. I originally asked to post the article on a4moz because I think the conversation, which has been bubbling under since the &quot;Give it Up&quot; session @ SMX Advanced,  is more important than aimClear Blog and deserved a wider readership.I  hoped for the opportunity to discuss avatars. Perhaps that dialog can happen now. Even if you don't like the theories at hand, I look forward to everyone's viewsa4and willing to evolve my own perspective from what I learn from y'all.Sincerely,Marty<br/><br/>3 Vote(s) ]]></description>

That page was taken down at Google's request. &quot;They asked us not to reveal any details,&quot; said Joel Rubinson, chief research officer at the ARF. Oops.
