Welcome "Canada Today" Readers

Today, local nut-bar Werner Patels posted the following crap :

 

The blogroll for Albertablogs has been moved to a separate page on this site.

Unfortunately, not all members of Albertablogs take personal ethics very seriously. They join the blogroll to promote their sites but then fail to put the blogroll on their own blogs – thus getting free advertising without returning the favour to the other members of the blogroll.

One blogger was recently reprimanded, and he was good enough to comply. Still, if you do the right thing only after you have been caught doing the wrong thing, it doesn't really count for much, does it?

Another blogger has been reported to Albertablogs, but has yet to comply – and he's even more dishonest, because he keeps pinging his blog in order to keep it at the top of the blogroll even though there are no updates to his blog.

It's interesting to note that both these unethical bloggers are dabbling in active politics – the first one is an Ed Stelmach and Alberta Tories insider, while the second one ran as a candidate for Calgary city council in the last municipal election (and suffered a major defeat).

Following blogrolling etiquette may not be a big issue in the grand scheme of things, but when someone flouts even such simply rules of ethics, why would anyone expect them to act appropriately in politics?

When Ed Stelmach justified his recent pay raise, which he himself approved, by saying that this was necessary to attract better people into politics, he wasn't all that wrong. But it's not the money that matters, but honesty and integrity that we need to look for in those who seek public office.

These two "gentlemen" in question, since they cannot be trusted to do the right thing in the blogosphere, are clearly not the kinds of people we want to see involved in an active role in any capacity or at any level.

At any rate, this is why the blogroll has been moved to a less prominent position on this site, because CANADAToday will not promote bloggers who refuse to play by simple rules. The blogroll is still accessible from this site, but it will not be featured on the main page any longer.

 

Right.  I'm dishonest.  I'm unethical.  And, if Werner had the balls to allow comments on this post, here's how I would have responded:

 

Had you been paying attention, Werner, you would have noticed that my site (no-libs.com) has been going through extensive renovations since March.  You would have also noticed that the "Alberta Blogs" icon was proudly displayed in my sidebar up until the renovations began.  It's archived here if you need proof: (http://no-libs.com/wordpress/)  No, I don't have everything in place yet but I've been slowly working on getting it put back together.  When you've got a day job and family to look after this stuff comes neither easily nor fast.

Further, Werner, had you actually read my blog, you'd have noticed that I'm having serious computer problems.  Most of my time, over the past several weeks (and I do mean SEVERAL), has been spent trying to keep my machine running and there's hardly been any time to even get a post up let alone make revisions to the site's layout.  Hence this week's notice of hiatus.  It's been too freakin' much!

Further still, you note, Werner, the complaint to AB Blogs about my lack of a link.  I just got my blog e-mail up and running this morning and scanning the 500+ new e-mail messages, I can't see a single one notifying me of the infraction.  It's just a little unfair to tear into someone for something they've done wrong if you haven't yet let them know about it first no?  Werner, you're a freakin dope!  

I'll tell ya what...  Now that my machine's back up and running, I'll see what I can do about the missing link this weekend.  There are no guarantees.  Between work, the little league games and the deck renovations time is going to be tight.  I still need to configure dreamweaver to work with the new joomla system on my server.  That will take some time as well.  I will guarantee however that it will be repaired by the end of the month.  If that's not good enough for you you can continue with your little "progressive" hissy-fit about the evil conservatives and their blogroll infractions and have me removed from the blogroll.  I. DONT. CARE.  Actually, now that it appears that it's you that's running the blogroll, Werner, I dare you to start purging conservatives from it.

In any case, Werner, you can go frig your hat...  You know the one, the little black boler job you like to wear...

As an aside, is it possible that you really don't care about the blogroll and that you're just using this as an opportunity to take a shot at a conservative blogger/politician while you think he's not looking?   Just because I'm not posting to my site, it doesn't mean that I don't check in every now and then to see what's going on.  Werner, you're a f***ing dope!

 

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going back to my hiatus...

 

OH, and if you're wondering how I knew it was werner that posted that crap, WHOIS is your friend... 

 

UPDATE:  Werner responded to the e-mail I sent him notifying him of my rebuttal:

 

 

You should also take extra classes in English spelling, you f***ing moron. You make me laugh.

 

Btw, your reply on Project Alberta is funny and shows how uneducated you really are: I don’t run the blogroll, and I am not out to purge conservatives – I only want to purge morons like you, and I don’t care whether they’re conservatives or liberals – a moron is a moron, no matter what is ideology may be.

 

And you are not only a moron, but a retard. You must have been the product of two siblings having sex, right?

 

And next time get your facts straight before you make an ass of yourself in public – then again, being a moron and an inbred retard, that’s not really within your intellectual range, is it?

 

I took the liberty of bleeping his foul language...  Yup, I'm thinkin that ol' Werner thought he was going to take a cheep shot at a conservative who, in his mind, wasn't paying attention...  Sucks to be Werner... 

 

What's really sad is that the damned fool actually admitted that he doesn't want me pulled from the blogroll because of any sort of blogroll infraction but rather because of his own personal grudge... 

 

ANOTHER UPDATE:  Werner sends more gibberish via e-mail:

 

 

Doesn’t faze me one bit – but if you ever decide to run again, I will expose your lack of honesty and ethics based on this example, and I will then publish your foul-mouthed emails for all the voters to see. Your next campaign has already ended now.

 

If you can’t spell, and are an inbred retard, you should not even think of running for public office, because Albertans deserve better.

 

Oh, and wasn’t it you who violated financial campaign rules the last time? I remember seeing something in the newspaper not too long ago. So, you’re not only a retard, but a crook too.

 

 

I think he's on crack!  He is correct about one thing though...  After tast year's civic election I forgot to send in my donation disclosure form within the allocated time frame.  If missing a deadline makes me an evil crook, then I guess I'm guilty as charged...  To my credit however, I did get the required information submitted after I got the reminder from the elections folks...  

 

Keep it up Werner...  I'm sure you're going to find some kind of dirt on me eventually...  Actually, I can't wait that long...  Here's a freebie:  When I was 4 I tried to steal a chocolate bar from a corner store in Saskatoon.  I got caught.  There's probably a record of it somewhere...   

 

AND YET ANOTHER UPDATE:  It looks like Werner has a history of bat-shit-crazy

Erm, not to be a spoil-sport, but; the "About" page on Canada Today is pretty helpful in determining the author....

... and the block on the front page of blog links, at the top, immediately below the block "Inside CANADAToday" is a strong indicator, too; it lists only Werner's blogs. smilies/wink.gif

Weird to click in here and see my picture on the left-hand corner!

I'm guilty too. I'm on there as well but with my redo I forgot and may Allah forgive me.

Isn't this exposing an identifiable group (siblings having sex) to possible hatred?
I suggest the CHRC be notified immediately!

Better to not waste another millisecond on Patels. There are, what I feel, some very disturbing incidents regarding him if you look around.

For as long as I've known him (since late 2004 on Joel's ProudToBeCanadian.ca forums), Werner's always been a kook.

Don't bother with the noise and nonsense, Richard. Enjoy your hiatus and enjoy spending time with your family.

Cheers,
Mike
