So the story goes something like this:

Blonde design / storyboard viral application for client.

Client likes design, but isn’t sure about the name.

Client’s fantastic project manager (FPM) at Blonde decides to open an internal competition for Blondes to suggest new names.

Some silly [and inappropriate] ones were suggested and when Blondes voted, it seemed that silliness got the better of the poll.

FPM took executive decision to remove silliness from poll and focus attention on some sensible options.

Such decisive [and responsible] action was interpreted as censorship of creative input by a Certain Individual in Blonde.

Fight breaks out.

Certain Individual posts Twitter rant on censorship.

FPM replies to Twitter rant with a formal blog post that admittedly would only make sense if you knew the context of the original debate.

Unfortunately FPM makes political statement in blog post that may not sit well with the political alignment of all Blonde clients.

Certain Individual censors FPM.

Moral of the story.

What goes around comes around.
