A fit of pique

Following up on the previous article, where Lew banned a citizen who had the temerity to disagree with him.

Unfortunately for Lew he doesn't own South West Washington Opinions (SWWO), and so his block only lasts as long as one of the more adult admins intervenes.

The he citizen who suggested that maybe the actual attendance of the meeting be verified before judgment was passed had no chance to post the verification to SWWO when he received it. He took it upon himself to post the response from the Metro Council Office to David Madore's page, upon which Madore, when made aware of his gaffe, posted an apology and a retraction. 

Lew copied the post with the list of attendees and posted it on his original post without attribution, copying the information from the very person who he had blocked less than an hour before, and because Lew has no concept of journalistic integrity, failed to attribute the source.

Of course, that citizen was later re-added to the group, and posted a terse public comment to Lew about being childish and blocking him, as well as using the information he had gained and posting it without attribution. It was a blatant copy and paste, because the source information had to be massaged to format correctly in the Facebook format, so Lew hasn't got a leg to stand on if he tried to suggest that he got it from another source, unless he wants to make the preposterous case that another person made identical formatting decisions.

Of course, Lew immediately removed that post and blocked this person again.

Lew, you're a damned senior citizen. Time to start acting like it, instead of petulant schoolgirl who can't stand it when other people are mean to you.  For someone who's as abrasive and vulgar as you are, you sure have an awfully thin skin.
