Fly Like a Butterfly, Sting Like a B-Lister

Seriously JC, what's the deal with defending the ethics of BoingBoing over an innocent error (which, btw, I totally agree with you on) while you still haven't posted a correction to this entry on your blog where you claim Engadget made Time's 50 Coolest Websites list? It's time for you to swallow the medicine ball or we're gonna have to go extra rounds and trust me you don't want any of this. Just ask Jarvis's cut-man if you crave some mental scars before I deliver the physical ones.

You can run from responsibility but you can't hide the facts. You can wait all you want, but it's gonna be another year before Time's list is updated so I suggest you do the right thing and come clean now. Use that towel in your corner one way or another. You know that I know you know because you commented here when I pointed this out before. There's been no effort on your part to set the record straight or even do a strike-through on the original post. That's a lot of talk, man. Now is not the time for more words. Try action, it can be so much louder.

To paraphrase the great Muhammad Ali, you need to run on the road long before you dance under the lights. So get those sneakers on pronto, this ain't no roller disco.
