When I published my open letter to the National Audubon Society a couple days back, I hoped it would be read and taken to heart by the powers-that-be in that fine and highly-regarded organization. Judging by the number of comments left on the post, it was something with which many people, all with the good of the organization in mind no doubt, agreed. However I must say that was astonished when I logged into my Twitter account and saw this:
That’s from my own Twitter “Find People” page. Apparently, I’ve been blocked by Audubon Magazine. Now, I knew that someone might possibly take issue with what I said in my original post about National Audubon sending out too much printed marketing material through the mail, but to block a member and a nationally published writer from following the organization’s own magazine’s Twitter feed…?
I’ve sent a letter to the editor of the magazine inquiring about this matter. I’m genuinely hoping that it is either an error on their part or some sort of glitch in Twitter’s own code that is preventing me from following the Twitter feed of a magazine I have been receiving for years, and whose content I read from cover to cover with each and every issue that arrives in my post box. Be assured, when a response is receive I shall, it is sincerely hoped, report back here that all has been settled amicably.
