[Vision2020] Still Creeped Out

[Carl Westberg]

I just hope that Moscow's cyber version of Hedda Hopper doesn't publish any 
of the photos of Angelina Jolie and I frolicking together.  That'd tick me 
off.

>On April 28, 2005, Dale posted (without permission from the owner of  the
>photograph) a picture of Saundra Lund and me at a private gathering which
>furnished Dale and his blogging companions ample opportunities to refer to 
>me as  a
>sow, Saundra and I both as "piggies," and just to generally note that we 
>were,
>  in the eyes of those beholders, two very ugly women.  BTW, the  original
>photograph was in the so-called public domain for less than 2 hours  before 
>it
>was taken down by the photographer.  Dale had to have copied  and saved 
>that
>picture for more than eight months, waiting for the  "right-mind" moment to 
>share
>it.  How weird is that?  Can you say  Norman Bates?
>
>Recently. Dale posted a photograph of Nick Gier (almost certainly without
>permission) attending a Hindu celebration.  The text of that blog  
>accompanying
>the photo of Nick contained an article about the murder of a young  women 
>in
>an Islamic community.  Dale added his own remarks at the bottom of  the
>article:
>
>"Dedicated to Nick Gier, who cannot tell the difference between the Taliban
>and Evangelical Christians.  Don't forget his PhD stands for Piled Higher  
>and
>Deeper."
>
>On May 16, 2005, Dale posted an un-attributed but breathtakingly  beautiful
>photograph of the Aurora borealis over what appears to be the  Palouse.  
>The p
>icture bears an uncanny resemblance to Japer Nance's work,  which is, of
>course, copyrighted.
>
>The point is this: Dale reflects an attitude that is endemic among his
>fellow kirkers: what's mine in mine and I'm going to keep it, and what's 
>yours  is
>mine and I want that, too.  He helps himself -- without so much as a by  
>your
>leave -- to whatever he wants.  Your words, your photographs,  and your
>property tax dollars.

>It may be the case that a notice on your emails that the material is
>copyrighted would prevent Dale from reproducing it.  Then again, maybe  
>not.  He
>lives in a smug, self-righteous little world which extends  automatic 
>privilege
>and entitlement to puffed-up men who call  themselves "Saints" and who 
>dismiss
>the rights of the rest of us.
