If Pandavas were on Facebook

This image came as an email forward to me with no attribution.
However said creator is deeply offended that I used it without his permission. I apologize for this but what I don't like are the ridiculous comments made on my comment page. Also these guys can't structure a single coherent sentence in English.
To this end I have removed the work of offended creative genius.
A thousand apologies.
Let us not forget the original idea:

Dude. There are two possibilities here:

1. You received this through an email forward and found it amusing enough to share it everyone on your blog. Fair enough. Just wanted to let you know that I did this back in 2007 and the original link is here - http://krishashok.wordpress.com/2007/11/29/facebook-mahabharatha/
I'd be happy if you attribute this back to me.

2. More unlikely, but you knew this was not yours, and while I have no problems with you reposting my facebook-mahabharatha image on your blog, the least you could do is attribute the creation to me, instead of making it seem like your creation :)

I am inclined towards believing that it is nr 1) so request you to oblige :)

Interesting Technique to get traffic to your website. Provoke an Online Tiff with a blogger entrenched in the social media .


Wonder why I did not think of that?

The offended creative genius has a popular blog(rightfully so); so I can understand why a lot of people are outraged to see someone carelessly using his work. But I fail to understand YOUR sarcasm towards the author and the folks who commented on this issue.

You have the gall to imply that his work may not be original? The rest of his blog is more than enough proof for his creative talents; trying to take the credit away from him is the worst possible way to react to this situation.

I was in fact hesitant to bring up this issue in KA's blog expecting this kind of reaction from his fiercely protective readers. But insulting them doesn't help you either, does it?

p.s: I see nothing wrong with their English; perhaps my standards (at least for the language) are not as lofty as yours?
