A Facebook friend just posted a long status on Turkey by Sam Charles Hamad, basically an apologia for Erdogan and the AKP, whitewashing his crimes, and holding him up as democracy's best bet in the country. If this sounds familiar it's because Hamad used the same method when analyzing Egypt (i.e. pandering to Morsi as democracy's best hope). In the case of Egypt, Sam also viciously denounced those who asserted the need for the country's workers to take the lead. He hasn't yet done so regarding Turkey (although workers are noticeably absent from his analysis), but I'm sure he'll get there. So, here's the etiquette question: Is it acceptable to post someone's Facebook status on a public list? I ask both as a general rule and in circumstances like mine where the author has blocked me. _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
