Hat Tips

Kendall Harmon at TitusOneNine is upset that he isn't getting credit for digging up stories from other sites on the web. TitusOneNine generally does not publish original stories like Stand Firm, for example. Generally, T19 lifts stories from newspaper websites and other news sources on the web. I've had my original thoughts lifted by other bloggers and not attributed, but you don't see me squawking. I hope that KSH isn't concerned about my small blog, but who knows? He specifically mentions "websites" rather than blogs, so maybe his concern is with others.

My policy at DCNY is to cite the original sources of stories. If that bothers Kendall Harmon, he'll just have to deal with it. My objective is to find the best stories and put them here for you to read. I thought that T19, SFIF, VirtueOnLine, Religious Intelligence and others of us on the conservative side of the Anglican world were working together, but apparently some egos feel slighted when they dig up a story and someone else posts it to another website. I think the ego part is the problem.

I'd answer Kendall's concern directly on T19, but my comments there go through a moderator since I had a little kerfuffle with Sarah Hey a few months ago. So, I don't comment on T19 any longer. If his concern is with me, he can easily email me.
