Yesterday, I called out someone on Twitter.
This guy had a blog.
On this blog, he was plagiarizing my threads — and also posts from top financial writers like @morganhousel and @dollarsanddata.

After seeing my tweet, many of you came together and voiced your distaste for this kind of behavior.
Facing all this pressure, this person has since taken down the posts he plagiarized, and also apologized on his blog.
He also apologized to me via DM.

This person clearly made a mistake.
But after getting caught, he’s tried to make amends and do the right thing.
Plus, being called out on Twitter by so many people can’t have been much fun for him.
So, I’m inclined to let this matter rest.
4/
Some of you called for more aggressive action — like reporting him to higher ups who have real power over him.
I understand this urge — it was my first “gut reaction” as well.
But we don’t want to ruin someone’s life over one mistake.
5/
We’ve all done things we’re not proud of.
Let’s not harbor grudges.
Now back to more pleasant topics like finance and investing!
