"we are nevertheless also many"
The report over Vote manipulations by users of a conservative US Website led to the manipulation of the manipulated Votes - and to a solid reader echo. While some welcome "Vote being", others remind deliberated handling Votes and expressions of opinion in the on-line journalism on.
At 17 o'clock on Monday registered the "Schulnoten" Vote to the presidency of George W. Bush accurately 38,449 voices. 59.6 per cent of it evaluated the US president with "unity", approximately 13 per cent with "six".
Even these numbers for itself taken already showed that this Vote was not normal: "pure already with statistic means", wrote Hans Wegener on Monday evening in a reader letter, "sees one that with the above inquiry something takes place. The distribution of the voices with maxima with the notes ' 1 ' and ' 6 ' (reverse bath tub curve) puts near that the co-ordinations disintegrate into two groups. From this observation it is an easy to arrive at the assumption that two extremes supply themselves in the political spectrum a tuning war."
_ so look the probably out, and so the article to manipulation the Bush Votes by reader the Weblogs "David criticism" and the conservative US Website "Free Republic" of much also understand: as request to strike back. "we are nevertheless also many", were called it in a reader letter, "show we it the Amis".
The result could be visited on Tuesday morning: At 9.25 o'clock registered the Vote 291,164 voices, whereby 29.38 per cent of Bush with "unity" evaluated and 59.04 per cent with "six". We can "freepen" evenly also: Quod erat demonstrandum?
MIRROR ON-LINE ONE: Did liver sausage insult?
Not few readers noticed in such a way: They felt the disclosure of the Vote manipulation as Retourkut against their causer. The subordinated motive: MIRROR ON-LINE ONE did not want to accept that a Vote results in a opinion, which does not fit the "positioning" of the assumed readership. That would be however rather cheap.
Other one reminded, which procedure shows nevertheless over-clearly, the Votes a "dubious means" are, which one cannot take seriously, never is representative - and therefore on a journalistic web page nothing to search has: "is inexpressible what? Purposeful falsifying of these tunings or perhaps even the tunings themselves, more unrepraesentativer not to be could be and for in good journalism no place should not?" (from a reader letter by Stefan shopkeeper)

MIRROR ON-LINE ONE INQUIRY
|

Votes in the on-line journalism: Yes or no? Votes are with Machern and readers like. In addition, they are susceptible to falsifications. Should a journalistic offer use the means of the Votes or not?
|
|
|
Yes: It belongs to the attractions of the InterNet for Medienmacher and readers that such communication forms are possible. Votes are "part OF the fun". One must make clear that they are not representative
|
|
|
|
No: Votes obtain the impression of respectable opinions, are however falsification-endangered. They do not have to look for anything in journalistic offers
|
|
|
|
Undecided, no opinion
|
|
|
|
A minority criticized the criticism at the behavior of those, which had called for Vote manipulation: That is nevertheless probably legitimate, one can its readership evenly not select itself. "your tuning achieved, wrote not the desired result" reader Peter Kneer. "the co-ordination however falsification to subordinate joins easy the left democracy understanding. A citizen of age is only that, that its cross a little linkslastig sets."

Everything else is still there - just the picture of the Boobies. Da Boss dropped me a nice note last night letting me know why - apparently the wanker hosting the pictures sent him a screechy email about bandwidth theft and copyright violations and we're calling our lawyers and the whole nine yards. You'd think he'd just take steps to prevent hotlinking, but apparently he's going to rely on the whiny-email method of enforcement ;)
So that's why it's gone, and I guess I can't really blame JR for not wanting the hassle.

"Da Boss dropped me a nice note last night letting me know why..."Happened to me once in just the same manner. Before I started my "varmint cong" gig, I used a scene from "The Sand Pebbles" where it showed the sailors going over the side in a boarding party to attack the river barrier.
Anyway, the website I linked it from had a cow and sent both me and FR a nastygram about bandwidth theft .. la, la, la, la .. and I never was able to go back to that site.
Heck, you'd think that they'd be grateful. People seeing the download would go to their site just to see what else might be there.

Lord have mercy.
I've gotten a similar missive from JR in the past over another photo.
You are right, Jim doesn't need the hassle.

Fortunately, my opinions ought to still be protected from this sort of thing, so hypothetically I should be able to safely say that it is my opinion that the operators ("Bob" and "Susan", hypothetically speaking) of www.bobsteelephoto.com are a couple of wankers. Hypothetically I could express such an opinion, that is - of course I'd never actually do such a thing...

How's Lance, BTW? I assume your refer to the actor Lance Henriksen. No relation. Notice the different spelling, especially the "-sen" (Norwegian or Danish)/"-son" (Swedish) difference.
But I do have a cousin named, coincidentally enough--no, I don't have a cousin named "Coincidentally Enough," wise guy--named Lance Henrickson.
The name over in Sweden is spelled "Henriksson." It got changed when Grandpa moved to America.
