All Myfriends !!!

ผมเสียใจกับการที่ได้ ติดต่อกัน ตั้งแต่เริ่มแรก อาจจะใช่หรือไม่ใช่ในกลุุุ่่มเดียวกัน ผมเบีือกับการที่ได้ตกลงและไม่กระทำ มัีนเป็นการไม่จริงกัน ก็ไม่ต้องตกลงกันหรอก ไม่เอา

ผมถามเรื่องว่าผมจะได้หรือไม่ ( ตกจุดนี้ ) ถ้าไม่ได้ทุกอย่าง ก็จะไม่ติดต่อกับ ใครๆ หรอกเบื่อ พวกชอบของชาวบ้านตัวเองมาเป็นอย่างผม จะรู้ เกือบ 2 ปีมีหน้าไหนดูบ้างไม่เอาครับขอบคุณมาก ที่หวังดีและช่วยผมมาตลอดเลยหรือครับ บาย พวกโกหกก็ไม่ชอบอย่าให้ผม ต้องตะเวนออกอากาศเลยนะเพื่อน

Thanks, Justice, it’s good to get confirmation from the inside. (In case anyone is wondering, “Justice” is a real person who provided his email address, which I will of course not be revealing.)

I used to work at SYS-CON and I can tell you that Fuat writes lots of stuff under fake names (Engin is his relative but has nothing to do with the magazine, last I saw him he was sent back to Turkey and while he was in America he was staying in the SYS-CON offices in a room with a mattress. Not quite a Private Island, as his “bio” says.) You cannot believe all of the names or pictures on the site or in the magazine. Even on the phone he will say he is Engin or someone else.

Aral,

FWIW I note that IBM & Microsoft have been replaced by Oracle, Unisys & Yahoo this time round. I guess IBM got the message last time – will be interesting to see if these three see it through and if they return next time round.

Seems they're not on Google any more.. :) (As an aside, coming back to this post has creeped the hell out of me. I could swear I read about this story at least several months ago, yet it was less than a month ago.. creeeepy.)

Wow! I can’t believe this BS is still going on. I think it is time for a follow up post. This is ridiculous, and I hope that everyone supports this boycott. I’ll be much happier when our online publications can return to the important stuff: reporting news. Not cloning the same story 800 times!

Hi Devon,

I realize that this whole incident is so ridiculous as to be wholly implausible. However, asking for my content to be removed and then calling them out on what they were doing to not just myself but to thousands of other authors is the sole factor that Sys-Con’s attacks on me. You would have thought it would have sparked some self-reflection, possibly and apology, and an effort to make amends but it has been quite the contrary.

This is really unbelievable. I can’t imagine what would provoke such a thing. Seems that simply asking to have your own material and image removed from their site wouldn’t spark such raving animosity. I’m certainly in favor of putting a stop to it.
Incidentally, while checking to see if my name was in the author list (it wasn’t, thankfully), the name Guy Watson jumped out at me. Something tells me he’s not there by choice, if anyone wants to pass on the info to him (looks like the flashguru site’s down at the moment)..
