Imagine if you didn't lie outright to make your point. 17.5 of Internet traffic is infringing does not mean that 17.5 of the work I do is not paid for. The two are not related.
Nice parting shot. What were you trying to accomplish? Did you know it just makes you look petty and vindictive? Not to mention childish.
TD is an opinion blog, not a newspaper, and Mike puts a human face on it. One of the results is... sometimes Mike makes mistakes. And sometimes we, his readers, call him on it. Makes for some lively discussions.
So go back to your sanitized NY Times or whatever, where nobody ever makes a mistake.
I thought we Boomers were the entitlement generation. I've been told that quite a lot lately, while simultaneously having all the world's ills dumped at my feet.
I wouldn't want to claim to make a diagnosis, but I see a pattern here.
# deception, as indicated by repeatedly lying, use of aliases, or conning others for personal profit or pleasure;
# impulsiveness or failure to plan ahead;
# consistent irresponsibility, as indicated by repeated failure to sustain consistent work behavior or honor financial obligations;
# lack of remorse, as indicated by being indifferent to or rationalizing having hurt, mistreated, or stolen from another;
# Callous unconcern for the feelings of others and lack of the capacity for empathy.
# Gross and persistent attitude of irresponsibility and disregard for social norms, rules, and obligations.
# Incapacity to experience guilt and to profit from experience, particularly punishment.
# Markedly prone to blame others or to offer plausible rationalizations for the behavior bringing the subject into conflict.
I left out a few about being irritable or prone to anger, because there was a strong suggestion of it leading to physical violence, which so far we haven't seen. There are other issues which may or may not apply. We've only seen a small window into his personality and none into his history, so no valid diagnosis is possible. (Not to mention that IANAD.)
Oh, and as for it being opinion -- it's a blog, of COURSE it's opinion. Mike has never tried to claim anything else.
It's pretty obvious your real problem is that you have a huge hard-on for Mike and this is the only way you can get his attention. You might want to get that looked at.
Funny, Marcus made the exact same point and you promised not to read his stuff any more. But when Mike does it, you start foaming at the mouth demanding "proof" and insisting that anything obvious to a demented turnip is "faith-based FUD".
I cannot imagine what poisonous cesspit your mind must contain, because there's obviously nothing human there.
I keep seeing AAIAA (visually) as a bunch of fat men surrounding a poor, thin man in the center, blocking him from getting out, intercepting and keeping any incoming resources for themselves.

My daughter did get a MacBook... the one I was given for my birthday 5 years ago, repaired and upgraded. And still not working 100%. Does that count?
Did she complain? Nope, she says I spoil her.

I'm just pointing out that his behavior matches some of the aspects of Antisocial personality disorder.
Whatever the reason, the man is a flaming asshole.
