<p>On September 4, the Green Party of Canada announced they were
<a href="http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20080904.wgreenpartyfired0904/BNStory/National/home/">dropping</a>
John Shavluk as a candidate because of allegedly anti-semetic remarks
he made in a comment on a blog.</p>
<p>To me, the main lesson there is that the <a href="https://www.cs.unb.ca/~bremner//tags/internet_remembers/">Internet
Remembers</a>. At the risk of making light of a
serious situation, it is worth noting that if Mr. Shavluk had done a
better job of <span class="selflink">quoting</span> rather than just "parroted what others
were saying", this story might have had a different ending.</p>
