That's Houston all over, as if designed by a cartographer with tourettes. #raptor

though.. i guess they way they have the 5.4 crammed in there it'd take a lot of re-engineerding to do... and why mess with something that works so well already. (you're quite welcome nudge nudge ;) #raptor

There again, 550hp is probably more than enough for me. When I get one, we'll go on that drive off into the sunset. #raptor

Honey, get the big stocking down from the attic!
What drives the timing? Belt or chain, or be still my heart, gears? (Yeah, I wish). #raptor

What is it about this truck that makes it so, so beautiful? There is something about the design that is simple and American. Something that reaches into the lower levels of testosterone production and calls out for more. But, there is more to this simple, yet exciting design. I think it something that says, "this is all a truck needs to be", yet it provides more. Maybe it brings back memories of when trucks were trucks and not over bloated cars (I'm looking at you Honda). It's hard to put a finger on it. Simplicity like the Ranger, maybe? I don't know. #fordraptor

And I don't even like trucks that much to begin with. Drool! #fordraptor

It's just we thought "no link" is the new link etiquette these days from Edmunds given their recent non-linkage to us on our stories:

I give automotive outlets the same respect on links that they give us. When they don't respect our stories enough to link to us -- even quoting us -- we won't respect their stories enough to link to them.

Kudos!!

You still have no excuse for copying their last line.
Also, there's this whole concept of taking the high road, being the setting the better example. Just a thought.

For starters, it wasn't a press release. We interviewed him. The quote from our Q&A is just as much a product of our hard work as their sentence is.
Secondly, if we'd taken the low road we would have run the story sans credit. Edmunds gets credit on this. In fact, we give them credit fully above the jump on our front page. They gave us credit too. Buried a bit, but they still gave it to us.
You see, we're not arguing that they stole our story. We're arguing that if they want links where credit is given, they need to do the same with us. That's called being fair.

Your line of argument here suggests to me that you intentionally created the post as a response to them picking up on your exclusive Delorean thing without a link.
I still contend that taking the high road and being the better man is preferable to sinking to the levels of others.
That's all debatable, but the big one for me is:
They end with "lift with the knees" and you do the same. No quotes, no attribution. You put this forward like it's your own clever idea.
From a creative integrity standpoint that's pretty weak.

As far as making a big thing out of this, I observed that Ray didn't put a link over to the content he was referring to and pointed out that he copied the line. He brought up the not-linking pissing match justification.
...and since I keep harping on taking the high road and I'm not into abusing dead equines, I'm checking out of this little debate.
