I wouldn’t if I were you.
Now, please note, I’m a very open, interested, and often passionate person. I’ve had lots of problems with agencies and publishers - as a freelancer, as someone that works with friends that want to work with said agencies, editors and publishers, and most importantly, I believe, firmly in saying what’s right and what isn’t.

But - I’ve never named the people I have problems with. I’ve just been turned down for a job, basically, because of a mistake in a hiring process - and I’m not badmouthing them. I’ve been conned three times now - each time, more intricately - and I don’t name and shame.
On another mailing list, they’ve been talking about this - and pointed us in the direction of Themidnighthour
which is a great little blog to read.

And it seems the editors and agents, publishers and more canvassed have said they either - flat out don’t care, or yes, more commonly, yes THEY DO care. They care because lots of people care about what’s said online now.

I think the most important thing to pull from that is that yes, we as writers are entitled to our opinions, but as people with exquisite command of the written word, we, of all people, have to pay closer attention to what we’re saying, and more importantly, how we’re saying it.
