This is an excellent post, Nate. I think we all realize this kid made a lot of mistakes in setting up that site. If I recall, it was about the age of 15/16 when the idea of copyright and quoting your sources was REALLY emphasized in school (for me). If I had the motivation to do something like this at his age, I probably would have made similar mistakes too.Originally Posted by Nate
For a 16 year old, I gotta hand it to you for not losing your cool and calling everyone big meanies
I'm sure you'll do the right thing. We all screw up - but it's how you handle your screw ups that will shine through.
If you recognize the fact that you screwed up and are genuine about fixing your mistakes, then kudos to you sir
I agree he messed up big time, but has done a good job in keeping his cool under the storm of comments that have poured down on him. There are a lot worse things a 16 year old could be doing, and I think it's a good thing we have a young generation that is enthusiastic about this hobby. If he is sincere about correcting his mistakes, then I, like Nate, give him kudos.
