		<description>Gerald,

Seriously dude, just can it. Your exaggerated wild fantasies of corporate corruption at the hands of your own AOL account are amusing at best. I've redacted your comments due to the minimal value they provide. Please find someone else's blog to shit on. 

Kthxbye,
Joe</description>

		<description>Marah,

I actually find what you author to be useful and sometimes interesting. I am more concerned with respected media who tends to be less innovative and just regurgitates the same "Friends don't let friends use AOL..." kind of material. I expect them to go above that bar and actually interview -- say, a spokesperson, on various concerns raised by amateur blogger on controversial topics and provide value for prospective and loyal readers.  

While it may appear that I defend the company, I really don't -- I defend my actions during my time there. I know there are many challenges that AOL will be faced with in its future path. In fact, there's several things I totally disagree with the company on, but it's not necessarily for me to repeat it here.

While this wasn't necessarily a piss in the wind for or against AOL, it as intended for PC Magazine and their lack of innovative, investigative and powerful journalism that readers probably enjoy. 

Thanks for dropping by!

		<description>"Spoon-fed AOL propaganda?" Guess what I write? And I'm feeding it to the public with the prettiest spoon you ever did see. But you knew that already. Amazing how loyal you stay to AOL despite your layoff (what we in less polite circles might call your "canning"), but there's just no accounting for taste. Unless it's like your friend Joelogon says - that it's easier to go with what you know than what you don't - but he was talking about AOL's message boards, not AOL itself. Quite puzzling, really...no matter how much you folks at AOL get kicked around, you keep on defending them.</description>

		<description>Gerald,

I no longer work for AOL anymore. That said, how can any account be wrongfully terminated? It's their service, their Terms of Service and their guidelines. 

I suggest if you experience difficult reactivating your account is to write to headquarters and civilly state your request and I'm confident that the right folks will be able to review your concern and address it adequately. 

Their postal address is:
22000 AOL Way
Dulles, VA 20166


Best Wishes,
Joe</description>
