"Outing" sites for paid links... is it slimy?

[mvandemar]

I swear, I wish someone else would act start acting worse than Rand Fishkin, so I can at least get a chance of ragging on someone smarter.

Anyone else following the debate of what Rand did yesterday on Moz?

He again publicly outed sites to Google, for the sake of headlines, this time for selling links. Yes, he did edit the post, but left up all the screenshots, and not before it was cached in Google. Hell, he's still trying to claim he did nothing wrong.

I mean, wtf? If those had been your sites, how would you have reacted? Think someone should contact those webmasters, and let them know?
