MBL apologizes to ShoeMoney for banning him.

MyBlogLog, a popular blogger tool which tracks links from a page banned Jeremy Shoemaker of ShoeMoney after he discovered an exploit (and posted it to his blog) in which a malicious person can add himself to another MBL user's community without their permission.

Protest to MBL and support went out to Jeremy throughout the blogosphere, hoping something would be done about his punishment.

Seems bloggers have spoken and heard by the MBL staff. Its very difficult for a company to fight with a celebrity (of any medium), which can affect how the rest of their customers and community may react. In this case, Jeremy, wishes MyBlogLog much success in the future.

An apology is better than having no ShoeMoney as a loyal customer.

"The Truth in Ad Sales by John Dodds."

By far, this is the best example I could find on the net illustrating how not to handle your clients and the project which you have been assigned.
