Effieblack was right. So far, the courts ARE holding

51. My point is the wrong person is credited

I can re-post Rachel Maddow all I want when I agree with her. SHE should always be credited as the person who was the one who came up with what was a specific, original statement. Not me, just because I excerpted her statement.

You don't change the attribution for the original to someone who quotes it.

It would be improper to say "bitteross was right on ..." when I was not the person who said "..." but was simply the person who repeated it. It would be proper to say "bitteross was right when he agreed with XYZ who said ..."

In this particular case it's even worse. Support for her friend's position was not granted until there was some judicial act. If EB had come out in full force before any court decision and said "The Judiciary is STRONG. WILL. HOLD" then EB could be credited.

Fact is EB didn't bother to make any statement of support until AFTER the first battle was already won. It's always easy to agree with the current winner. It's a lot more difficult to stand up in front of the cannons.
