ASYLUM SOUGHT
Margoville is in meltdown! Yesterday brave dissident leader Margo Kingston posted some ill-tempered remarks about her employers, claiming they’d been unhelpful in solving Webdiary’s technical problems and that Fairfax bosses had avoided meeting her to discuss matters.
That post quickly disappeared. When it returned, all critical comments were missing. Margo explains:
The bits deleted from this post were not deleted by me, and were deleted without my prior knowledge. I am unable to comment further at this time.
She’s been silenced! The rest of the contentious post is by Margo functionary Caroline Compton, and details plans to flee the Sydney Morning Herald:
4. Finding Webdiary a new home
This is our present priority.
So set up at blogger and start posting. It’s just that easy! Webdiary is instead adopting the elaborate Compton Plan, an insanely complex and grandiose proposal featuring five separate teams of industrious Margolians all devoted to The Project:
Team Beta: Supporting Webdiary
Objectives: To provide functional support for Webdiary, including fundraising and brainstorming possible donation and registration models. The intention is to raise funding for additional manpower to assist Margo in running Webdiary. All ideas will be considered/approved by the management team, at which point they will be returned to Team Beta for implementation.
Team Leader: VACANT
Team Members/Roles/Functions: Marketing, “Sales People” (attending functions etc..), Merchandising, Product designers, various others - any one with ideas, or who is able/willing to get involved at a more practical level.
Please, God, please let this happen. The world needs Margo merchandise.
