All you can control is whether you maintain the syndication. I've knocked people off my LJ friends list for posting photos that broke my layout enough that I didn't like looking at them.

You just have to decide whether the content is worth it to you and whether there are other ways you can get it. Short answer: you can’t. All you can control is whether you maintain the syndication.

No, he's definitely editing it in something else and pasting it in.
