International Gaming Awards Twitter Spat

A new Twitter spat has erupted between John “PokerAddict” Mehaffey and the International Gaming Awards organization.

Earlier this year, poker journalist John Mehaffey exposed the iGamingPost site as a source of blatant plagiarism. Since then the site which sponsors the International Gaming Awards has taken down some of the offending articles—including some copied from pokerfuse.

The dispute has continued and Mehaffey tweeted that he had caught them copying other people’s work again.

iGaming Awards responded with:

John Mehaffey <a href="https://twitter.com/pokeraddictnet">pokeraddictnet</a> and his Unreportedaffiliate income should be checked by irstaxpros

After pointing out that he wasn’t an affiliate, but a writer, John’s latest response:

I caught <a href="https://twitter.com/gamingawards">gamingawards</a> plagiarizing again and they threaten me via the IRS. Why not stop stealing people's work? Why is that so hard?</p>&mdash; John Mehaffey (Pokeraddictnet) May 20, 2013
