I don't hold back, and I don't expect my readers to either. I like it when readers tell me what they think—especially if they vehemently disagree with me.
Recently, I wrote “9 Ways You're Ticking Me Off“ about how public relations and marketing people drive me crazy—like asking me to lay off the sarcasm when I write about their firm or telling me the partners would like to “pre-approve” my article.
I got a bunch of reactions to my post on the “9 Ways.” Most PR/marketing types thought my comments were helpful, though one took umbrage that I referred to PR professionals as “flacks” (he asked how I would feel if journalists were called “hacks”; for the record, I'm cool with that.)
