One of my pet “netiquette” peeves is hotlinking. I have a few images on this site that are regularly hotlinked (this post is popular… people use the Berkeley whacko image as an avatar in forums), and so every once in a while I rename the image file and put in a substitute that briefly makes my opinion on the matter fairly clear:
Someone over at the epicenter of left-wing stupidity*, the Daily Kos, hotlinked an image from Joe Sherlock – a distinctly unwise thing to do, given Joe’s ability to drop a new image in the old one’s place.
Just in case it drops into the memory hole over there, I saved a snapshot:
Couldn’t have said it better myself.

* The center of left-wing insanity, on the other hand, is Democratic Underground, into which fever swamp I am extraordinarily reluctant to tread, even under the best of circumstances. I always feel like I need to be disinfected when I go there. John Hawkins provides a sample. Those people are certifiable.
