		<description>Someone rapes my blog without permission, I complain and my comments border on insulting?

I want my blog removed from that thing - immediately. These people&#039;s lack of ethical conduct is amazing.

I was willing to leave my blog on that forum after I received a lengthy apology, but now reading their comments about my blog here is just the very last straw.

A little more research and professionalism on their part would have resolved this issue, Beta or no Beta, business principle of decency in the usage of other people&#039;s material must be pre-eminent.

Trying all that &quot;Nigerianese&quot; does not wash with me. No thanks!</description>

		<description>You guys should give us a break. The Super Blog is still in beta so why all this harsh remarks?. There is a broad line between constructive and destructive criticism and unfortunately, your remarks are not helping our image at all.

The &lt;a href=&quot;http://naijalive.net/nigerianblogs&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Nigerian Super Blog&lt;/a&gt; is a website that is constantly and RAPIDLY evolving. All this castigating is giving people the wrong ideas about the entire Project and its not fair. Indeed it makes us wonder whether anybody gets the point of having preview (or beta) versions of websites. A preview/beta version of a website is meant to correct bugs, fix errors and make modifications based on visitor feedback. And it says &quot;preview&quot; on the Super Blog, doesn&#039;t it?

We have been and are still begging for visitor and blogger feedback and all the changes that have been made on the website so far are 100% due to the feedback we have been receiving so far.

Aside from the full-post-vs-excerpts thing, we have implemented just about every other issue that you guys complained about. And we will not hesitate to thank you, even though the language used (especially by Mr. Akin) borders on being confrontational if not insultive. 

&lt;i&gt;O boy we no know the guy before and we never quarrel with am before so Mr. Akin, which level na???&lt;/i&gt;. 

We are very concerned about making blunders that is why we solicit and act upon feedback. We are not trying to prove anything, we have not said we know it all, we have virtually begged for reactions and we have reacted swiftly to all feedback. So why all the fuss??? What else can we do? Shut down the site? 

We are very willing to learn and if you have the time, you may want to read &lt;a href=&quot;http://naijalive.net/about/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this post we made about the idea behind (and facilitators of) the Project&lt;/a&gt; so that you can begin to understand the true nature of NaijaLive (please patiently go through the entire write up). Then maybe you can find the time, to leave a comment on our &lt;a href=&quot;http://naijalive.net/2007/07/17/tell-us-what-you-think/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;new feedback page&lt;/a&gt;.

And thanks for accepting our apologies. We shall hope you will consider letting us re-add your blog after we must have sorted out the full posts/excerpts thingy because we &lt;b&gt;do enjoy reading your blog.

Much Love from the NaijaLive people

P.S: We are still deleting your blog posts and we ask that you give us till the weekend to have them all completely removed.&lt;/b&gt;</description>
