Thankyou Robert for your response. I understand things take time, but once a decision is made it should be easy to effect.
There are videos that I don't agree with, but this one goes past that. It is ugly and it is the work of a little bully. Now the bully is still shouting, snickering and joking with his friends, all with the Podtech logo on his videos and from the Podtech servers. Some have indicated that pulling Loren Feldman would be censorship. that is not correct. That is Podtech's responsibility, as Loren Feldman is doing this in association with the company. I didn't suggest that Blip pull them, or disassociate from Loren. That is up to their terms of use. So, I would now reach out to Steve Gilmor and the team at Podtech, and ask, what is Podtech's official position on these videos? Why is Loren Feldman still associated with the company? I want Podtech to continue to grow and prosper, and create great conversations. Prompt actions will show leadership.
