Reply to Ciska below : Coming from an "embedded" journo, who actually did security reports for Halliburten in Iraq, I would probably brush you off as a redneck, George W wannebe, but actually this is serious. Your allegations have no basis in fact and the editor of the People's Post, including yourself are really confused.No Ciska, I did not plagerise my own writing, and I don't believe quoting a press release from a record label qualifies either. Also like so many Media24 hacks, you are an antisemitic, racist. FOI what I do on my Friday night is between me and my Friday night, and Media24 have absolutely no business dictating to me what I do, and how I spend my time after hours. As if your bluster and ignorance weren't bad enough, you're now denying that I was working a seven day week to get the title launched and the matter is now the subject of substantial labour litigation. If you want the nitty gritty details I suggest you call Michael Lyons and Brevick Inc(21st Floor, 1 Thibault Centre) who are currently representing me in the dispute and, yes they have a copy of the article,. which I am rather proud of.
Sheesh David, you are like the Energiser bunny from hell. One year on and still pandering your fantastic tale of woe! If you weren’t so full of crap I would almost respect that.I have been dying say this, but your little Life and Times of David R Lewis video diary has finally inspired me to just get it out.You plagiarized a huge part of your Jimmy D article and you know it! I mean we all worked on the same system –the proof is still there in black and white should any of your biographers care to check.And that’s why it got thrown out you muppet! You are lucky our editor noticed it before it got to print.I don’t know how it worked in the glory days of the anti-apartheid press (if indeed you experienced them) but using another journalist’s words without credit –besides being seriously unclassy - is a dismissible offence nowadays. Also –your issues with the company aside –you were a crappy colleague. Claiming you didn’t work on the Shabbat and then bragging about your hectic Friday nights on the club scene, didn’t win you any friends.Especially when you consider that we were all working our bloody arses off to launch a new (and now award winning) paper –your work didn’t just disappear you know.Just let it rest now man. You deserved what you got and more.I am sure if you apply all this energy into something real you might be able to dig out of this ever deepening hole of delusion.
