Go up one level in this thread


First - it's the *Tabloid* post header:

" Please Ed, take Rebel Decade 2.0 off of your site before you go
bankrupt"

followed by detailed instructions on what to do ....

forget about this "trying to be a friend" -- I certainly would not need
any friends like this -- and this "being a journalist" is crap
too....for the record ..I believe the "fixed" version was already at the
site....so you posted that without verifying the facts, without checking
with the author, using Tabloid "yellow" journalism.  Give me a break.
It's too late now, but I would have more respect for you if you admitted
the mistake upfront instead of trying to justify your actions to the nth
degree as you you are now doing.   Go on .try to.keep on defending
yourself -- when there is no defense.

You failed on both accounts -- in being a friend and a journalist .

But with that said ..we all made poor judgements at one time or another
( you just happened to make a very public gaffe) --that's when you learn
...and I hope you are considering this a learning experience.
