it came to having his bio removed from the Encyclopedia.
Let's set the record straight. Being a professional publisher, he had
problems with your plagiarism, IIRC. Just as a bank teller would be
wary of associating with a bank robber, he really didn't want someone
with "flexible morals" doing his bio, and the post that this is an
answer to shows that you really *don't* understand that plagiarism is
anathema to professional writing. Most of us can accept an error in
judgment as long as it's acknowledged and not rationalized. You seem
to have no concept of what a moral breech it was though.
The fact that he pulled the bio after the plagiarism came to light,
and had previously blessed it with full knowledge that you had taken
him to task many times, shows that you are misinterpreting the event
to conform to your own agenda, and that's pretty disengenuous.
