Where children can be surprisingly mature, and supposed "adults" often act like kids.

"Stole an Instalanche"? WTF?

Should Austin ever start another blog in the future, I'll link to him right away, and put him on my blogroll.

And I don't expect to ever link Matt in my life. I most certainly won't ever link Jordan, whose behavior was egregious and unacceptable.

Remember the old saw about how you can judge a man's character by how he treats women? That comes from an earlier time, when women were bound by laws and conventions and less able to fend for themselves. It had to do with the notion that the way we treat those who are vulnerable shows who we are. It most certainly applies to the way any adult behaves toward the underaged.

I FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS THROUGH PROTEIN WISDOM, RUN BY JEFF GOLDSTEIN. HIS WEB PAGE IS HERE. (Go. He's selling "Free Austin" T-shirts!)

1 I'd go so far as to say you can still judge a man's character by how he treats women. or that could just be how I was raised.

2 Oh, I'm not so sure it never applies any more. I'm just extending the logic, here.

3 As an absolute neophyte in this blog world, I'm not familiar with the specifics of crediting, etc. at issue here. But those specifics couldn't transcend the meanness behind that so-called grownup's reaction anyway. Shame! What truly dishonorable behavior to an intelligent and compassionate child! Shame!

4 Talk about taking yourself way to seriously. You stole my insta-lanche, sheesh. Does anybody have Glen Reynolds IP address? I am going to ban him from my site, I just don't need the aggravation.

5 Well, of course it isn't Glenn's fault.

6 Well, on one hand, Matt Margolis got dragged into it by Jordan, who has take a huge, and vastly desrved, amount of shat about this. He has appologized for his demeanor and attitude towards Austin, as well as has Matt. Hopefully, Austin's Mom will let him start blogging again.

7 Well of course not Attila Girl, but then being banned from my site isn't exactly the end of the world.

8 What I like best about this incident's "damage control" is Jeff Goldstein's "Free Austin" t-shirts. Now THAT's lemonade.
