It sounds as tho Cooks Source has paid dearly for their blunder.
The long article sounds pitiful, but the last two sentences are telling: "The misuse of Facebook discussed above, also applies to Ms. Gauido; she did what she felt was the right thing, and doesn't deserve this kind of abuse. Regardless of what has been said, we liked her article very much." So there really is no acceptance of responsibility there. |

What I find fascinating here is this plays right in line with book pirates and music theives and attitudes about copyrighted property and breaking laws....
It's really no different and is another indicator of the breakdown of society. We are moving away from being a society of law to one of anarchy. |

No, there isn't. In fact, the third paragraph from the end "However: Cooks Source can not vouch for all the writers..." looks like a deliberate shift in blame from them and their editors to the writers.
The balance of that paragraph and the whole part about how this has harmed the people that they were helping sounds so much like a little kid lashing out against the parents who caught them doing something wrong, it is laughable. |

There's another rambling statement up at the web site. A choice quote:
"The bad news is that this is probably the final straw for Cooks Source. We have never been a great money-maker even with all the good we do for businesses. Having a black mark wont help...and now, our black mark will become our shroud. Winters are bleak in Western New England, and as such they are bleak for Cooks Source as well. This will end us." http://www.cookssource.com/index.html |
