    I'm still catching up, but Jebbie,

    you might have experienced a case of premature accolation in your early choice of Troll of the Day. ;-}

    We are being accused of indulging in hate speech, and being threatened with legal action, by someone who likely doesn't believe in those laws to begin with, but who doesn't hesitate to brag about committing copyright infringement (or whatever the legalese for stealing music off the intertoobz is).

    Everything on my iPod comes from one Gnutella network or another.

    Never paid for a thing, and until it is technically impossible otherwise, never will.

    Thanks for the heads up, bystander. Interesting article but not surprising, I suppose. It would appear we have our very own propagandisite (propaganda parasite), as opposed to a propaganda site (what he considers Salon).

    This thread's been like an episode out of some hyperbolic, bodice-ripping, teeth-gnashing, chest-beating, back-of-the-hand-to-the-forehead-feinting, spittle-flinging soap opera.

    And that's just taking into account the ones Derbig has been battling in a singularly menschly way.
