seriously? Blog spam because we decided to share the videos with our readers in one post? We didn't post it here either btw.

why would you want to delete a thread history?

the issue i have with this is that it deletes all previous messages from the email thread. So if someone wants to read back through previous messages or forward the email onto someone who does - no es posible.

We do have processes AND policy in place to make sure this doesn't happen. But it can still happen unintentionally and when it does, we react activity and proactively.

we have a strict policy in place to make sure this doesn't happen.
If it does, and it really shouldn't have beyond a year ago (when we really clamped down on it with our authors)... we fix it.
If it ever does happen, I assure you that all it takes is one email to [email protected] and we'll have it resolved.
But I assure you that this "care free" image you might have of us when it comes to posting other peoples images just isn't reality.

yes I appreciate many of you agree a quote should have been included rather than an attempted rewrite.
I agree, that would have been better.
However, calling us out for plagiarism does feel far too extreme when the updated piece clearly states the source of the facts. The original piece only included links without a name and that I agree is 100% wrong. I hadn't seen that original piece before we were called out on twitter and my reactions were clearly based on immediate emotions...never a good time to reply.
Again, will put all this into a single post soon.

Zee from TNW again.
There's been some confusion.
Will post a follow up to this shortly to explain the mix up...but basically this HN commenter nails it: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3972875

funnily enough...that is actually exactly what just happened and I literally (only seconds ago) discovered it. Will be putting a piece up about it soon.

that I can appreciate, but to come out and call it "plagiarism" publicly although we couldn't have done more to reference him...is absurd to me.
Feels like this guy is trolling every single one of us here - myself included - to get a reaction.
Been called worse though, will get on with my day :)
