Code of Ethics

Andy “AAA” Aplikowski writes over at True North:

We have just been informed that one of our Contributors has been lifting content from other blogs.

The Seventh Son is a guy I know, and I did vouch for him to be here at True North. I just talked to him and informed him of the matter. It sounds like he is guilty of laziness and not knowing blog etiquette, but I will let him defend himself. I have no tolerance for people who take credit for others’ hard work, whether through stupidity or laziness. And together with the Nucleus here at True North we came to a decision.

We’ve removed The Seventh Son as a Contributor, and pulled down all of his posts.

We can’t tolerate that sort of thing.  And while Andy may be right – there might be extenuating issues of misunderstanding – ignorance of the rules is really no excuse.

Conservative bloggers; we don’t publish “codes of ethics”, but we follow ’em anyway.

UDPATE: Seventh Son fesses up and leaves the ring:

That being said, I have gone to posts, linked to articles from those posts, and cut and pasted some of these articles to my blog. My fault here is not properly acknowledging the original post as I should have.

Some of my blogger friends made me aware of this controversy today, for which I sincerely apologize. So I have asked them to remove links to my blog and I will let this be my final post.

It’s sad, of course.  Sorry it came to this.

But right is right.
