Techdirt kids (or just Mike hisself, we can't tell) censoring again.
Awwww, isn't that cute. 'Ole Blue is getting all ass-hurt because no one cares what he has to say anymore.
Here's a couple of tips for you Blue:
- Stop ignoring rebuttals to your comments. You keep posting things that have been completely debunked many times over. Why should anyone listen to you, when you refuse to listen to anyone else?
- Stop calling the intelligent professionals who read this site "kids" and/or other disparaging terms. I can't speak for anyone else, but as soon as you start insulting people I stop reading your comment and hit the report button, regardless of the message.
If you really want to be heard, try acting like an adult for a change.
Re: "In fact, smart law enforcement folks realized that rather than blaming the online service providers"
So now you apparently support extra-judicial and illegal coercion of private companies and individuals, to secretly comply with organizations such as the NSA and FBI?
Nice jump to Conclusions, enjoy your swim back through the Sea of Knowledge.
Valid court orders targeting specific individuals and/or specific activities that include sufficient probable cause are not "extra-judicial" nor "illegal coercion". Those are valid avenues for law enforcement to use to catch criminals.
and again, so what??? its THE PUBLIC DOMAIN, everyone, and anyone can use it.
Yes. No one has said otherwise.
Sure, Mickey might not be on it, but SO WHAT, then don't use Mickey, deal with it.
The problem is that, based on Disney's past actions, Mickey will never end up in the public domain. That goes against the original compromise that the public agreed to. Heck, it even runs afoul of the deal in place when Mickey was originally created. Disney has effectively reneged on their side of the bargain.
But being upset that people and companies use the public domain just makes the authors (who also use public domain for profit) look like morons...
That is not what anyone is upset about. What really makes someone look like a moron is commenting on an article that they either didn't read all the way through or didn't understand.

I guess if one says it is not censorship enough times he/she might actually come to believe what they say. Self-delusion, however, is generally not something to which people should aspire.
It's not self-delusion nor is it censorship, my friend. The comment is still there and Blue has not been prevented from spouting more of his crap in any way, shape or form.
Do you also claim that newspapers who place letters to the editor on page 6 instead of the front page are engaging in censorship also? Same concept, but instead of a single mouse click you have to leaf through a few printed pages instead.
Re: Re: More Pirate Mike boilerplate including defense of Google.
Who else here thinks it's cute (and insane, outright bloody insane) that a commenter spent the time and effort to create ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY TWO different tag lines?
Actually, that's 192 taglines which have been previously debunked, ripped to shreds with logic and/or are basically incoherent rants.
Blue is one of those people whose mind is already made up based on incorrect information and faulty logic and doesn't want to be confused with actual facts. It's sad really.

Dude, your analogies comparing physical objects with negotiations are lame.
If you really need some sort of analogy, try this:
You are purchasing a house, but you are not allowed know what property you are buying, the purchase price, the interest rate of the loan or the amount of closing costs until you finish signing the papers.
Not a single one of the things you listed is on the same planet, let alone in the same ballpark, as negotiating a trade agreement on the behalf of citizens by a representative government.
Anyone reasonable who wanders in should take note: Your "free" to agree with Techdirt's spin, otherwise entirely not wanted.
Not true. Plenty of people come here who argue their opposing points of view in a rational and respectful manner and they are respected in return.
However, you and darryl are not here for a respectful discussion, you are here to troll, preach and ignore rebuttals. You have no one to blame but yourself if your reputation precedes you now and nobody gives a shit what you have to say anymore.
I've seen these public consultations before and they tend to try to guide the people towards their way of thinking.
I'm sure that the corporations who will benefit from this the most will be pressuring their employees to comment in the company's favor also. It will be flowery rhetoric that basically boils down to: "This is a good thing for the company, therefore it's also good for your continued gainful employment with us...". I've experienced this type of pressure when I worked for an energy company going through the deregulation years.
You know, I've always wondered why the links go through bit.ly... When the full url is given too. Why just on this one daly "feature"?

OOTb has a couple similar characteristics but cannot approach the epic troll capability of Prokofy Neva.
It's kind of funny, I was thinking about this earlier today when I stumbled across one of Prokofy Neva's comments on another article and I attempted to find some sort of writing style comparison software to compare Blue's and Cathy's writings.
My Google-foo failed me though and I got sidetracked with some actual work, so I didn't get very far.
Music may be art, but rap isn't music. Most rap is despicable. You know how many people associate Muslims with terrorism? Same principal applies to rap. Some may call it stereotyping, and that's OK. But facts are facts....sometimes they're hard to accept.
