Posts like that are why I admire Zed. He just went through mini-hell getting an unauthorized copy of his work taken down. He could very well have said "F-U guys" and taken his ball and gone home. Instead he writes a lengthy post to help anyone write a book along the same vein as his.

- akira2501 16y agoReally? Mini-hell? He posted a request for the author to take it down, the author agreed in the very first reply to this request, and as far as I can see, it was acted upon in less than 12 hours. The flap that followed was a disagreement about the style of Zed's request. A semantic argument, which is pretty far from an ongoing personal torment.
- kreek 16y agoI did say it was 'mini' :) Part of what followed was a disagreement about the style of Zed's request, another part was the plagiarizer trying to explain that he wasn't really plagiarizing when quite clearly he was. Then the offending party made a lot of noise about it. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1874889 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1874889 Being slandered in public is not ongoing personal torment, nor is it a day at the beach.
- akira2501 16y agoI'm not defending Martin, by any stretch. I'll agree with your assessment there. On the other hand, I don't think Zed should be particularly surprised by his reaction. Nor do I think he's ignorant to its cause.
