im just saying, its a delicate issue. I like to think that with proper referencing, that this matter wouldnt be such a debate.
like writing a thesis for example, you take from other credible source their point of view in order to portray your POV. Referencing is important and i think he should have at least gave u credit for the post. But If i was trying to portray a message, i would edit it as i see fit to get my message across. but then this would fall under interpretation.. and we all have our own opinion.
advertisements... i believe that if he was promoting the exact same sponsor, then i dont think thats fair. but if its to another similar sponsor.. then he is just providing to the readers what his beliefs are based on facts he took/refer from your site.
