So, now she is experiencing some of the same karma.<BR/><BR/>It is unfortunate that the spirit of captialism is superceding the spirit of knitting; when my aunt held her weekly stitch and bitch group back in the 60's, I remember this being radical in the sense that her girlfriends didn't like the word "bitch" being used. How times have changed. Now folks want to capitalize off it.<BR/><BR/>SFSE fired a male friend of mine for speaking out against their policies. A company that used to be cool, is now a bitch, cause it wants to make money. Lord.<BR/><BR/>It's now a fantasy, but I wish everyone would stop being bitches, and create; isn't this why we do it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18444369.post-1138726658584041282006-01-31T11:57:00.000-05:002006-01-31T11:57:00.000-05:00It's a sad, sad, day.

I agree completely that it seems that SFSE is trying to benefit from a hip brand. <BR/><BR/>If Stoller gets a SnB-related trademark, I'd have much less of a problem with it. She has been actively encouraging knitting groups, and has been a supporter of women's groups for much longer than that (yep, an old BUST reader here). The trademarks that she filed for involve things like knitting kits, bags, and a television show, and I have no problem with her trying to use a name she helped popularize for that kind of thing. Nothing that she registered for sounds like would cause trouble for groups wanting to do something as simple as using Yahoo.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and Carrboro? I used to live there. It was great at the time, but I'm enjoying being in Raleigh these days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18444369.post-1138718941682125962006-01-31T09:49:00.000-05:002006-01-31T09:49:00.000-05:00Yes, please steal my anti-Bush paraphernalia. And...Yes, please steal my anti-Bush paraphernalia. <BR/><BR/>And speaking of pure stupid evil, SFSE apparently took down the press release due to its many typos and mean-spirited barbs.
