Richard Silverstein is a dick but I think his douchie behavior is limited to his crappy anti-Israel posts. There’s enough out there to criticize him for that we don’t have to make up shit.

Um, if it’s anonymous, how do you know it’s him?

Richard Silverstein will smear your name all over the internet, with the same affiliated websites and blogs like “LoonWatch” which he runs himself. Then will contact you by an anonymous email asking for 15,000 USD to clean up the mess he started!!! This is BLACKMAIL and should be stopped.
There’s an ongoing investigation into some of his recent smear activity that is linked to his website Tikun Olam (meaning repairing the world)… His attacks, smears, blackmail are nothing related to repairing the world.. He’s a low life that strives to get attention from internet stories.. but it looks like his days in business are numbered.

Thanks for pointing that out. I just changed my ad filter so that it will stop appearing. It will take about 24 hours to take effect. Do let me know if any other offensive ads ever show up. OR… click on the ads like a mad man and make those bastards pay! Kidding. I can’t really say that because it would be a violation of our terms of service.

That supposedly Jewish site has an advert from scientology on it. That is creepy.

Hmm, five. Eight years is still a long way to go. All the best!

Five years? Is there some sort of Jewish prayer we can say? Or something physical we can cut? I’m open to anything.

CK good to know you’re doing well. And Muffti, if you’re going to ‘Pest, stay away from beautiful women who try to lure you into bars. They’re mafia and will force you to pay by the balls. My advice!

Also, you gotta love this. From Silverstein’s “Terms of Use”:

“Please do not link directly to any image or music files on my site. You’re more than welcome to copy images and music files and host them on your own site (giving me a link and credit at your site would be nice and under the conditions listed above). Just don’t link to what’s on my site, because you and all your visitors will essentially be stealing bandwidth, which I pay for. While I generally like people making use of my site, I don’t like paying for your visitors making use of your site. Besides, if you try to linking directly to my music files and images they will not display at your site because of a feature I’ve activated through my webhost.”

What a hypocritical prick.

Years ago, when Silverstein was first starting up his ridiculous blog, he and I talked a lot on a blog user group forum (since defunct… I wish I could find his old posts, but alas, no archive anywhere on the interwebs) about the ethics and legality of using photos found online in your blog.

He insists that it’s ok to lift pictures from anywhere and place them on his blog. He thinks his crappy blog’s decoration is of paramount importance, and that he’s free to post whatever pics he wants. I called him on this on his blog once, and he got pretty defensive. See the comments on this post: richardsilvers...

Incidentally, many years ago he was sued (or threatened with a lawsuit) by a magazine author for posting much of her article on his blog. If memory serves, I think he actually paid out a settlement.

Nice job busting him. The “Richard Silverstein is a Thief” image is priceless.

Happy, Happy, Happy Birthday Jewlicious, and Mazal Tov, ck! As with Rabbi Yonah, I feel like I grew up with the website as I read it starting with freshman year in college, except I am now mentally five instead of physically five. Oh well, we lose some, we regress some. I am kol kach smecha that this site exists.

Happy birthday Jewlicious and special props to you, ck, my friend, for showing Silverstein up time and time again and getting his panties up in a bunch.

Good times.
