"My somewhat sarcastic post “Avoiding the well known #4 penalty“, where I joked about a possible Google #6 filter and criticized the SEO/Webmaster community for invalid methods of dealing with SERP anomalies, reads like “Aaron Wall is a clueless douche-bag”. Of course that’s not true, I never thought that, and I apologize for damaging Aaron’s reputation so thoughtlessly."

Folks couldn’t just send an email apology?  This needs to be front page news on Sphinn?

Wheel - I don’t see anything wrong with a public apology here. He poked fun at Aaron and everyone who was saying the #6 thing may be real. But once Matt acknowledged it, he was big enough to own up to his mistake. If you take a jab at someone in public, seems right to make the apology public.I remember a few years ago people in DP forums laughing at those of us who noticed the -30 penalty. I don’t know if that one ever officially got acknowledged, but it’s pretty widely accepted that some sort of penalty/algo-change was causing it.

@wheel - how does this suprise you that most SEO’s are shameless attention whores?
