PR Opinions doesn't like this post on Edelman's blog - here's what Edelman had to say:

An account person from GCI (one of Edelman's competitors) has unleashed a gratuitous attack on Jeff Jarvis, the widely-read blogger, in a comment on Jarvis' blog.

To which PR Opinions says:

This post leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

When a respected PR practitioner, who I have acknolwedged has in many respects been leading the way in online communication (as far as the large agency set go in any respect), takes time to write a pontificating post that takes a swipe at a competitor, I think it smells bad.

I have to disagree. It's fair to point out the bad behavior in your community - it's the business equivalent of expressing disapproval over the behavior of someone else's kids.
