RETRACTION, 11:14pm EST: Tateru added the link to her post at Massively, where it should be. Yay!
I’m kind of disgruntled this evening. Seems to be a lot of that going around lately.
Dan BROKE the Warner Brother’s story last night when he was online at about 7:00pm EST. Tateru caught wind of it, and tonight, Tateru regurgitates the post on Massively and convieniently forgets to link back to the ONLY place the story was happening at the time of origin.

We had a whole *lot* of readers write in about this one, which is why. It seems to matter a lot to the readers.

Hey Tateru, thanks for usurping your material from SCD. You might want to credit Dan for originating this post. Last night. Waaaay before your post.
Yeah, Tateru. I’m willing to bet they wrote in linking to SCD. Applause.
You’re right that I probably should have linked to your post, but I hadn’t actually *read* it at the time that I submitted my draft.
And here’s the awesome part. We have chat log proving that a lot of people didn’t write in to complain.
Also you almost directly quoted something from the chat log I posted. Is there some reason you don’t want to give credit and cite your sources?
Well, I presume the people who talked to me must have gotten it from here. It happens. I find a lot of my own material regurgitated elsewhere through various means.
Well that’s a bold faced lie right there, Tateru.
Well if you are presuming the people who talked to you got it from here, you should cite the source. Meaning here. Anything less is irresponsible. Too late to go back and edit?
Already edited. Did that earlier.
Oh, no. It’s the internet. Never too late to go back and edit.
In fact, if Tateru fixes her post I’ll issue a retraction on this post.
Thanks Tateru
She got the name wrong in her link. I posted a comment.
“Hello? Its Shopping Cart Disco, not Shopping Card Disco. Its bad enough you didn’t give them credit for breaking the story but you insult them further by not getting the name right.”
She got the name right in her link but not on the over-text. Smells funny.
Agreed
