Doc Sheldon vs. Omri Shabat
"DOC SHELDON says:
Omri-
Certainly those of us that work in SEO have seen plenty of instances involving craphatters that peddle garbage to the unsuspecting or uninformed. if you read the (admittedly sparse – give us time) content here, you’ll find that is precisely why this site was built. Keeping people from falling into traps is the primary reason for the site’s existence.
No, you didn’t come right out and say that Donna is a scammer. But you certainly implied it, with several comments and innuendos. As for your comment regarding the “disgusting marketing-related fraud phenomenon”, I’d offer this thought in response to your apparent tendency to paint all marketers with one brush…
If I happen to have known a lot of lazy black men, several greedy Jews or many emotionally fragile women, does that justify an assumption that all members of each of those groups deserve to be presumed guilty of those respective traits? I would hope that your response would be a resounding “No!”
Now, I’ll grant that if an individual member of one of those groups exhibits such behavior, human nature being what it is, most of us might view them with a somewhat jaundiced eye. But in my opinion, your assumption that Donna deserved to be singled out and libeled, indicates a total lack of any desire on your part to “act more responsibly”.
You say you have communicated to Donna that she doesn’t have to publish anything, but if she will, you’ll update your post accordingly. So in essence, you’ve said “I’ve painted you in a libelous fashion, and it’s up to you to defend yourself.”
Slippery slope, that, Omri. There’s some real value in an assumption of innocence until proven guilty… in both a legal and an ethical sense. Don’t you think the better approach would be to go after those that have clearly shown themselves to be guilty of the accusation? By your way of thinking, one might accuse my sainted mother of being a whore, simply because she was equipped for it. Of course, that would make you and I equally “guilty” of being rapists, wouldn’t it?
And seriously, Omri… your use of that pic was just over the top and demonstrated even more lack of character.
Finally, yes, there will be others on our Wall. But only when there is strong evidence that they’re deserving of being called out… not mere suspicion. "
