Did you hear the one about the guy who blogged about his workplace? He wrote about it here. Or you may have read about it here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, or here.

I have slightly mixed feelings. I work in a much more politically sensitive job than Joe Gordon did, so you won’t read me referring to my employers in quite the way he did, even in friends-locked posts, and I’ll try to avoid mentioning them explicitly at all; but at the same time, if any of my colleagues were to object to anything I’d written here, I would hope they would give me the chance to simply amend or delete in recognition of their sensibilities before they resorted to such drastic action. I think Waterstone’s action has brought them into much more disrepute than anything written by Joe Gordon, and therefore I will not buy books from them in future.
