This post was a long time in the making and probably overdue. As Linoge notes, he was assisted in his efforts by a number of other pro-rights bloggers and I&#8217;m happy to say I was one of them. <\/p>\n<p>What brought this to a head and resulted in the Linoge&#8217;s &#8220;uber-post&#8221; were two events that happened at the Gun Rights Policy Conference. The first was the awarding of a SAF Defender of Liberty award (one of many) to Farago. When the Second Amendment Foundation made the award they were unaware of Farago&#8217;s duplicitous past of plagiarism, copyright violations, and lies. An uber-post like that of Linoge &#8211; and the linking of it by other reputable gun bloggers &#8211; will help prevent this sort of error in the future.<\/p>\n<p>The second, and much more serious, event was the treatment of Washington Times senior editor Emily Miller by Farago. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pagunblog.com\/2012\/10\/04\/is-the-truth-about-guns-killing-gun-blogging\/#comments\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Not only did he ambush her in the hallway in a creepy manner<\/a> but his subsequent posts were beyond the pale. From Emily&#8217;s comments on the encounter which she posted at Shall Not Be Questioned:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><p>\n<i>Thank you so much for this post. I felt ambushed by that guy. He was<br \/>\nvery creepy and jumpy, which made me nervous. I should have trusted my<br \/>\ninstincts, but instead stayed and answered all his questions politely. I<br \/>\n don\u2019t know why he feels the need to repeatedly attack me for being a<br \/>\ngirl and for not having extensive training in the six months I\u2019ve owned a<br \/>\n gun. That\u2019s all true, but I\u2019ve also gotten the gun laws changed in D.C.<br \/>\n to make it easier to get a legal gun, so the haters don\u2019t affect my<br \/>\nwork!<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If you do read Linoge&#8217;s post &#8211; and you should &#8211; you will see a report of an incident at the 2011 NRA Annual Meeting involving similar rude and condescending behavior by Farago towards attorney Alan Gura. I was there, I witnessed it, and I was furious.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>Alan Gura and Emily Miller have in their different ways done more for gun rights in the last five years than virtually anyone out there. We don&#8217;t need the National Enquirer of the gun blogosphere treating them like dirt. It is as simple as that. We can quibble about whether it matters if Farago is a plagiarist or not but rude, boorish, and condescending behavior towards good people doing great work should always be called out.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Linoge at Walls of the City has done yeoman&#8217;s work in compiling the record of plagiarism, theft, copyright violations,&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":1,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[1260,2049,3588,3589,3590,2880],"class_list":["post-2907","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-alan-gura","tag-emily-miller","tag-linoge","tag-robert-farago","tag-rudeness","tag-ttag"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2907","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2907"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2907\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8434,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2907\/revisions\/8434"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2907"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2907"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2907"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
