It is a Blogging Community/ Support Forum. We have many who join just to spam their link. I'm not looking to find fault. Your blog post is regarding an email that I sent, which you found to be sarcastic. I'm looking to improve the communication skills so this kind of thing does not happen again.

I’m not looking to find fault.

I imagine I'm far from alone in this. Your idea of following up on quiet or dormant accounts is in principle a good one, to re-engage people with the service - but even in your comments it seems like you're looking to find fault. Being entirely honest, if I'm not using a service then I'm not going to take the time to go and request my membership to be removed. I find it surprising that you'd even brought it up as an idea. @Gary - Heh, calming down would suggest that I was in any sense not calm. Thoughts on aspects of social networking, customer service, or indeed most things are generally more interesting when they are specific rather than abstract. I was lucky enough that I had two contrasting situations occurring at the same time, which provoked an article. The article isn't "I hate Bloggertalk" or "I love SocialMedian". Their examples worked to demonstrate a wider issue, and so I used them to focus the article. @Rose – Frankly I have lots of dormant accounts on various social networking services.

However please keep in mind that my intentional email was to encourage you to return to our forums. I realize now that it did just the opposite. I'm sorry. That is all I can say and learn from my mistakes. Thank you for pointing out. I just wish you had of come to me so that I could not just apologize to you but anyone I may have offended.

I replied to your introduction with the follow "I dropped by both your blogs. I really enjoyed my visit to Fog of Eternity. Some great reviews there. So how long have you been blogging? There is this new site started by an online acquaintance of mine that you should check out. stumpedia.com - human powered social search engine" which you never acknowledge or replied to. My first impression was that you just dropped your link and had no intentions on returning seeing how you never replied to me or my question. Furthermore, at no time did you ask for your account to be removed and you still have not requested. Thank you for voicing your concern about out services but it would of helped greatly if you had of voiced them to us not ranted about it in your blog where I just happened to stumble upon it.
