I am sensitive to writers having their material used without permission by blogs and plagiarized by others. I have personally experienced that.
I don't think that was the intention here, but as I said above, things escalated and I went along with the escalation. Sorry again.
As an aside, it is de rigueur for bloggers to excerpt material written by others and provide live links to their sites. That is in accordance with Fair Use Laws.
I clicked on your link because I saw Leo Hohmann's name and I thought this was a link to a new online magazine/site for which he was now writing. I have read his work for years and am a fan. I was shocked to find that it wasn't and that there was no live link to his source.
For what it's worth, it is the end of the week of a very stressful week for me and I hate to end it on a bad note by leaving this matter with you unresolved.
Again, I am sorry.
You are forgiven.
