With the recent privatizing of the H and J trial blog Damon has chimed in on the reasons that he thinks PC took his blog down. now I do not know what the reason is and I do not presume to know why. I am sure that PC will inform us of his reasons soon enough. But I just think it is funny that Damon will go off on a tangent as soon as he thinks he finds something that he thinks is news.
This is the latest from the House of Madness

KRUEZER WINS ONE FOR THE TRUTH AND FOR JOURNALISTIC ETHICS: AFTER GorgeousBoys.com webmaster MARK WILSON MADE HIS LAPSES KNOWN, HandJTrial blogger PC LEARNS AN IMPORTANT LESSON AT DAMON'S HANDS
The Harlow and Joe trial blogger known as "PC" has long irritated and offended us by his air of entitlement, obvious hidden agenda, and his attitude of arrogant dismissiveness to anyone who dared to question his methods, sources or findings. PC's obvious self-aggrandizement in what we see as manipulating ratings for his blog and his associated heavy reliance on paid advertising tell part of the story. For the past year he's become fairly well known as a source about the Kocis-Cuadra-Kerekes trial while refusing to acknowledge the well documented fact that it was DAMON and not PC who conducted the very last interview with Harlow and Joe the day before their arrests in May 2007. Adding injury to insult, PC made a point out of what we allege to be harassment of ourselves (and others) in regard to specious claims of copyright infringement, despite PC himself being forced to take down John Roecker's here! TV Cuadra interview transcripts from his HandJTrial blog on copyright infringement grounds. Most recently PC clashed severely with Mark Wilson, owner of the Gorgeous Boys network of connected sites, a fast rising source of news, information and social networking. So severely in fact Wilson severed ties with him, for excellent and well justified reasons. Kudos to Wilson for that.
DAMON noting the contretemps with Wilson, and after looking again at our PC archive full of contemptuous, nonfactual and negative material, decided with MARC's help to enlarge on the Roecker precedent and make certain publications aware of what we believe is PC's flagrant and hypocritical practice of copyright infringement. What's good for the goose is indeed good for the gander, don't you think?
Now our efforts have borne fruit. PC has taken down all of the links to all of the reference material on his blog and has gone private in what we are reliably informed is another, more serious copyright issue.
Interestingly, the L.A. Times - with whom we have been in substantial contact - ran an article about the press cracking down on bloggers for stealing articles from newspapers:http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-ap7-2009apr07,0,2878784.story
Draw your own conclusions in this matter. For MARC and DAMON, we have Chesire cat smiles on our faces, as an arrogant adversary has been taught an important lesson. A lesson based entirely on proveable fact, not hearsay, speculation or outright fabrication as with our own critics. Let the word go forth: If you make a claim or accusation of wrongdoing, be prepared to prove it with evidence that can be independently vetted. If you don't have such evidence, then you may offer your opinion AS OPINION to those who ask it - but you may NOT force it upon those who have NOT asked in an attempt to interfere with others' rights of commerce and association. Are we clear about that? You know who you are. Let the results of the PC dossier speak for themselves. The time of toleration for outright business interference and unwarranted personal defamation is over.
These are the words from, Damon's latest post. Seems he is busy patting himself on the back for another supposed victory. We here at the truth squad are investigating these allegations and we will be sure to keep you posted. So far no word from PC.
