Prior to being here he was one of the early personalities of the Internet Fan Metsosphere, his claim to fame was early intelligence on the front-office shenanigans leading to the Kazmir-Zambrano trade which he got via covering the Cyclones for a local rag. I mixed it up with his henchmen a few times over the years but have since met the guy and he's swell.

That's pretty cool. We should reach out and invite him back. Kudos to anyone who figures out how to make a living writing about the Mets.

All of us except Greg pretty much do it for free.

As to the unlikelihood of anybody wanting to prosecute, or even issue a take down notice, yes, i agree. It's extremely unlikely. But that's not really the point, is it?

agreed 100% in both cases based on the 1 semester of Copyright that I half-slept through.

So if I posted a fair use excerpt from a Megdal piece and accompanied it with my own personal commentary and observations, it'd then be OK if I ended that post by telling you to go fuck yourself?

sorry, that was in response to "Great. A fucking morals lesson from the guy that thinks it isn't anybody's business what Jeff Wilpon did to Leigh Castergine." since Castergine had nothing to do with anything there and you decided to throw up strawmen about defending everything non-baseball wilpon does when all i've ever talked about is baseball
