PepsiGeddon Goes Nuclear: PZ Myers on Strike

Update: Strike action successful.  July 22: Pharyngula back in action.  The official name for the departure of bloggers from ScienceBlogs: DisasBora., evidently coined in a tweet by Ed Yong.

Background on PepsiGeddon. I was wrong -- the ScienceBlogs/Seed Media scandal wasn't shortlived at all.

Now, following Bora's departure, PZ Myers has gone on strike.

All strikes have demands. Here's a shortened version:

1. Immediate formation of a mechanism for communication between management and bloggers.
2. Prompt responses from management.
3. Regular updates on the status of tech support, and input from bloggers.
4. Transparency. Bloggers need to be informed about any problems in the parent organization, and we'd also like to hear more good news, too.
5. More trust.

I strongly suggest you read the original post and the comments.
