So in my spam trap I found a comment from Robert Farago that had been properly sorted.
Actually two, because there is another of him bitching that “I didn’t post” his first. Sorry Robbie, but I don’t control that, your comments are spam, and I have no control over that.
Still I’ll post it for fun.
We’ve dealt with the plagiarism issue. I’ve publicly apologized for the post that was inadvertently lifted by one of my editors. The images we copy from other sites are covered under fair use, but removed at the originator’s request. I’m not going to refight that battle here. You’ve made up your mind and that’s that.
I do, however, object to your accusation of “lukewarm” support of gun rights. Anyone who reads the site on a regular basis knows that I believe that all Americans have a Constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms. I am against any and all registration of firearms or firearms owners. I believe felons who have served their time should have their gun rights restored. Etc.
To quote My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, you judge me you make yourself look bad. If however, you want to end this needless feud, I would be happy to discuss how we can help channel some of our traffic to your site and, I would hope, vice versa. As odious as you may find it, we are on the same team.
First we’ll start at the middle. Robert claims he’s on our side of gun rights, rather than the truth, he’s in it for ad revenue and T&E guns. Its simple, Robert, I can keep telling people I’m the King of Spain…won’t make it true unless I can back it up.
As for his BS about not wanting to be a plagiarist and a general thief I’ll supply a link to Robert’s Site (if you want to take that down, Robert, I’ll just re-post a screen cap of your site, the internet is forever). Odd, I expressed my displeasure in Robert’s use of my image (provided generously by the awesome bluesun), and you can see in the comments he very kindly tells me to pound sand.
This is Robert’s MO, Hell I shook the guy’s hand at the NRA Convention in Pennsylvania, and then immediately asked him why he had been so vocal about open carry…and he lied to my face that he had no recollection about such a post. Nice, huh?
As for the promise to “Channel Traffic” here A) I don’t want his garbage, and B) He’s already laid that crap-hand on the table.
Oh and Linoge has sent me his letter to the Second Amendment foundation, full of links to many of Robert’s bullshit. I’ll post it below the page break if anybody cares.
I judge you as a scumbag because that’s what you are. All that makes me look like is rational. If you want to make peace with me, sell The Truth About Guns, just like you did your shitty car site and let your only talented Blogger Nick Leghorn run the show, and go find some other cause to SEO and troll.
I really don’t care if you choose to accept my terms, because I really don’t much care for you, for obvious reasons.
