That's like paying a contractor to build you a house with 3 garage spaces, but then getting a 2 garage house instead for the same price, and the justification is that you probably weren't gonna use the third space anyway.
Because you're in "starvation mode" while at the same time, eating enough food so as not to, you know, starve. The body thinks food is not easily available so it stores as much as it can from each meal.
The other case, the body being in "starvation mode", it starves more slowly. It still is starving, because it is actually not being fed enough food. This is by no means a healthy way to lose weight.
The Far Side? Never heard of it, sounds interesting. If only there was some sort of website showing some sample strips for free, I could go and check them out. But the creator seriously doesn't there to be, so I'm going to respect his wishes and not look for any "infringing" sites that contain his work.
I see that you have embellished your story, saying that the post states it "directly threatened", when the post title only says "threatens". Why don't you just tell the real story, instead of a hyped up comment?
Just remove the previews for those who complained, watch their sales plummet, and tell them that they can only have 30 second preview in the Store if they pay a preview fee.
I guess they can agree to disagree that due process is or not important. Maybe they can agree to disagree whether accusations of jaywalking deserve the death penalty even if based only on unproved hearsay and without a trial.
I see you don't have a grasp of how the internet works. Let me help you:
Webhosts provide their CUSTOMERS with disk space to host their sites.
Website OWNERS get disk space from webhosts. They put the content THEY want in their sites. Asking one host "why don't you host X" is stupid. Asking the Barbie Fan Site blog why it doesn't host Transformers content is STUPID.
Techdirt: Web SITE. Mike: Website OWNER.
Wikileaks mirror: Web SITE.
EFF: Web SITE.
Techdirt: not hosting Wikileaks mirror.
EFF: not hosting Wikileaks mirror.
Wikileaks mirror: hosting Wikileaks mirror.
Techdirt's Web HOST provider: doesn't disable account.
EFF's Web HOST provider: doesn't disable account.
Wikileaks mirror HOST provider: DISABLES account. real reason: shit scared / hates Wikileaks. bogus reason: one day a time traveler will go into the past and destroy their servers.
Analogy:
Web HOST for Barbie Site: doesn't disable account.
Web HOST for Transformers Site: DISABLE account. real reason: hates Transformers.
Barbie site: posts in their blog how unfair is that the Transformers site got disabled.
Anonymous Troll: "Why doesn't the Barbie Site hosts Transformers content if they're SOOOOOO concerned?"

So to disagree with him and "fail" him, you create a strawman where Imaginary Mike says it should be fine to steal from a casino.
Now that is what I call a "logic fail", and it's documented, to boot. STRAWMAN.

Re: Not so fast
One of the bastard is very in-your-face, the other is a sneaky bastard.
Wikileaks exposes the sneaky bastard. The in-your-face uses it as an excuse to do more in-your-face bastardness to the sneaky bastard.
And that is wrong, why?
