An Apology (Sean-Paul Kelley)
"An Apology I had hoped that with this post and this post I had cleared this up, however, that doesn't seem to be the case.
First, I want to state explicitly that what I did was inexcusable and for many readers may be unforgivable. I understand that and am willing to accept the consequences of my actions.
I make no excuses for what I did.
However, there a few things I think need to be clarified.
1.) Has the situation been corrected?
I believe that it has been. My archives are all here and I think I have completed the process of attributing everything. Have I missed anything? It is possible. If you spot anything, please email me and I will change it.
I have also gone to great lengths to link to absolutely everything I post, unless it is from live TV. When that is the case I will cite the speaker on TV and the media outlet.
Furthermore every post after this post has been properly attributed.
2.) Are there any legal ramifications? No. Stratfor and I came to a very amicable agreement in regards to my problem. They have not revoked my subscription and I continue to use their information with the proper attribution. I also highly recommmend their site.
3.) Is my credibility destroyed? Possibly. But that decision is not mine to make. It is yours.
Are there any mitigating factors involved? I think that is best left to the readers.
I am not making any excuses for my actions and I will accept the consequences.
I apologize to my readers.
NOTE: If you want to comment about this post please do it on the bulletin board. The comments still do not work. We are trying to fix them...."
