Oh, noes!

"Someone is sending thousands of eyeballs per day to my site, free of charge! I'd best put a stop to that!"

In other news, Dead Tree Newspaper Journalist claims that the internets are, despite claims to the contrary, actually a Big Truck.

Gawker sites run way too many scripts.

Turn off java before accessing them.

I am so freaking glad I got pushed out of that industry when I did.

Posner again . . . this guy is the one who wrote the article trashing the Heller decision, in part because "our society is already too litigious" and recognizing an individual RKBA would lead to lawsuits when the right was infringed.

He was also on the 3-judge panel that decided against us in McDonald v. Chicago. They gave as their reasoning that the Supreme Court's older decisions tied their hands . . . but they managed to assert in the decision that there is no inherent right to self-defense; indeed, if a state legislature decides to mandate that you must submit to criminals and not defend yourself, then that would be legal (and by extension, would invalidate Scalia's reasoning in Heller, since it based the RKBA on self-defense.)

In short, Posner is a nut. For some reason, the chattering classes trip over themselves trying to curtsy to him, but I've had a hard time detecting the towering intellect they keep talking about. His reasoning is wobbly at best.

Please, no need to bring in amateur snark. Gawker simply serves as the collector for the debris in Internet runoff.

As for Posner... a simpleton that you smile and pat on the head as you walk by. His time has gone, and he simply doesn't know it.

I don't know,

"It's like the ship is taking on hundreds of gallons of water a minute and there's an island within sight, but some people may not be able to make the swim and anyway, there could be scary animals on it, so instead everyone has decided to yell at the holes in the hull until they're patched by time-travel magic."

is pretty good stuff.

My friends,

Sorry to interject like this, but many of your posts have been stolen from you by a lowlife scammer Mark Osterholt. Please help me track this clown down and run him into the ground.

You guys all work hard at and for your content, don’t this sleezeball steal it without a fight. We all know each other through the medium of Blogging and specifically through the Outdoor Bloggers Summit. Let’s help each others out.

All I am asking right now is for everyone to link to these to posts so that anyone dealing with this lowlife will have second thoughts. I have researched the information and it is solid.

Let’s Get This Plagiarizer!
Mark Osterholt is Stealing Your Content

I will be spending the day tomorrow tracking down the owners of each and every post on those websites to let them know their material is hijacked. Many of you will be getting emails or comments on your blog. If you don’t get one, don’t be complacent, I may just not have gotten to it.

Please link and let me know so I can link back to you too!

Albert
