"I never asked to be an expert"

This is like Tiger Words claiming he desired privacy for his family deeds (after he had went outside his own family). if you want the public relations when you are hyping your own company and/or trashing other people's livelihoods then you accept the greater responsibility.

you can't just choose to take all the benefit and fall back on that <em>I am no expert</em> crap when you get caught in a lie.

"if he apologizes for saying something and backtracks"

That is the big problem. The apology is insincere.

He is not doing any real backtracking or shifting of strategy...just repeating a fake apology WITHOUT addressing the issues that were brought up.

MOST CRUCIALLY putting nofollow on the links to the sites he is "borrowing" content from.




I'm not going to argue with you, because I haven't been following this, because I could give a rat's ass about Mahalo. I think what I said about downvoting still stands. You don't have to upvote him, but when he's down at -4 a few minutes after he comments, it looks less like we're having a good debate and more like a bunch of us are kneejerk attacking him. It doesn't give Jason motivation to keep talking to us when the site visually displays how little we care about his words.


keep in mind that this is like the second or third thread I have ever participated in here...I click the left arrow up to upvote a few times, but I don't even know how to downvote yet...haven't done a single one yet.


I know, I didn't mean you. I don't know if you have enough karma yet to downvote.
