What should one call it when a person condemns an act by someone and praises an identical act by someone else?
 
ACT A ------ 
 
On Oct 6, '08 - Pawan Durrani posts "J&K Militants are terrorists : Pakistan President". He reproduces the news item and gives the weblink.
 
He introduces it with the comment "An interesting and important statement from Pakistan President .........". 
 
(Not so humbly put) Reaction from Inder Salim to Pawan Durrani --------- "  WE ALL READ DAILY NEWSPAPERS . WE KNOW IT. WHAT IS POINT TO FORWARD IT? UNLESS  THERE IS SOMETHING TO ADD . 
HUMBLY
IS

ACT B -------
 
One day later, on Oct 7, '08 - In an identical act, Naeem Mohaimen posts  "FINANCE: Karthik Rajaram Kills Family, Himself". He too reproduces the news item and gives the weblink.
 
Naeem makes no comment as an introduction to the news item.
 
Response from Inder Salim to Naeem Mohaimen --------- "thanks for forwarding the news item which appeared in all the daily news papers all over the world."
 
How should one consider this person Inder Salim? 
 
This comes in quick succession after the List Administrator similarly displayed hypocritical attitudes by de-listing one person for abusive language and not having taken similar action against another person who also had used abusive language ( equally abusive and crude)
