As you’re no doubt well aware, True North <\/em>– my other blog – deleted<\/a> a contributor<\/a>\u00a0yesterday for plagiarism.<\/p>\n

True North <\/em>took immediate action.\u00a0 Unlike other local blogs<\/a> with printed codes of ethics, we actually acted…ethically, when an ethical infraction surfaced<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Some of the usual lefty suspects jumped up and down like poo-flinging howler monkeys<\/a>, of course (ironically, of course, in Eva Young’s case, given her habit of copying and pasting entire comment threads).<\/p>\n

But dig a little further; the post that Eva links to in the post above is…well, still more irony.<\/p>\n

Joe “Learned Foot” Tucci from KAR also noticed, and dug a little further<\/a>; it’d seem former pr0n industry temp worker and Eva’s pal\u00a0and fellow obsessive blogger<\/strike> copy-and-paster Ken “Avidor” Weiner is on ethically ironic ground in commenting on the Seventh Son (emphasis added):<\/p>\n

Weiner stole some pics from our good friend Ben’s blog. Ben, in a comment section (the cowardly Weiner supplies no email address), politely asked Weiner to take the pictures down. Weiner, displaying the class he become known for, deleted Ben’s comments<\/strong>, restricted outsiders from commenting<\/font><\/a>, and promised to keep stealing the intellectual property of others.<\/p>\n

Coward.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Do these people actually have <\/em>ethics?\u00a0<\/p>\n

You can read Ben’s post about this here<\/font><\/a>.<\/p>\n

What makes Avidor-Weiner’s actions especially laughable, is that immediately above the first post containing stolen material flagged by Ben, is a post ripping on a plagiarism flap at True North (captured in beautiful haiku here<\/font><\/a>).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u00a0Yet another “prominent” leftyblogger (or at least one who is cited with breathless credulity by the local Sorosphere) is caught with his ethical pants down.\u00a0 So what will their side do about it?<\/p>\n

Will Blogger<\/strike> Copy-and-Paster Young continue to breathlessly support Ken “Avidor” Weiner, thief and coward?<\/p>\n

Tucci notes that the “rules” have morphed a bit…<\/p>\n

With the explosion of online publishing, things are now a little bit different. Instead of the old way of asking permission before using someone else’s property, now it’s pretty much the norm to take first and ask for forgiveness later. I think that’s a fair trade off and efficient way of doing things.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

…and the problem we face:\u00a0<\/p>\n

I don’t think anyone with an iota of class or integrity would refuse to take down a picture posted on his or her blog if the owner of that picture asked. In fact I have obliged such a complaint in the past. It’s called class. It’s called respecting the rights and the property of others.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’ve honored such requests as well.<\/p>\n

It’s that “class” and “integrity” bit.\u00a0 Or at least “not being a juvenile”.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0Blogger<\/strike> Copy-and-Paster Young also snivels:<\/p>\n

Normally blogs link to posts so people can go view them for themselves. Berg does that sometimes, when he cites a post from Lloydletta or Dump Bachmann. More often, he will not link to the post, then misrepresent the content.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I realize I’m in danger of using the word “irony” too much in one post – but dammit, it fits<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
