Battle scars and stuff like that
The other day when I stood up for Noel, I thought I was just helping out someone I identified with. I get ripped off all the time–it sucks. I always try and stand up for honest publishing. Whether it’s MacNN/MacCentral lying about post dates or Nick Denton using CSS outside of its original terms without paying, I’m there. Why? It’s ethical. We’re all better off if everyone’s honest.
After I made my post on the CSS theft/misunderstanding, the link to MobileTracker from Gizmodo was removed. Cute. MobileTracker beats Gizmodo to stories daily, and the link back is just a small token of thanks. It’s pretty dick to remove the link because I echoed a popular story on my personal weblog. I’m a big boy Nick–If you want to bash me on your weblog, I’ll keep the link to Gizmodo up because it’s just the right thing to do.
With all due respect, you’re not a big boy… or you’re certainly not acting like one. You’ve been on about this same topic for ages now… there’s more to life than this. Common. Back to the interesting stuff. Your weblog isn’t supposed to be a soap.
Grrr…

Jon, it sucks that Denton did this.
As for Timen, it’s his blog, suck it up and either don’t read it, or gloss over the entries you’re not enjoying. It’s not your place to criticize. Wanker.
“Your weblog isn’t supposed to be a soap.”
Where are the rules?
Timen….Timen *sobbs* tell me it isn’t true!….Not a soap?! …Oh God! No…Timen…..how could you?! ((And the award goes to….))
