  On the contrary, the rubes in suits had their own login to delete shit as they saw fit. So no, you are logic free on that bit.

• On the post: Roca Labs Sues Opposing Lawyer, Marc Randazza, Because Of What We Wrote On Techdirt

  I was particular amused with Ken's Post
  
  "The complaint itself — which I have uploaded here — brings the crazy and brings it good and hard. It was penned by Roca Labs' latest attorney, one Johnny G. DeGirolamo, a 2009 law school graduate and 2011 bar admittee, whose website is www.inlawwetrust.com. No, really. His site offers a flattering headshot of a smiling advocate, and it was a very good choice to use that picture rather than, say, his booking photo."

  She is just pissed that chic is marginally more attractive lol..

  Geez you would think at this point they would understand that not being allowed to comment over there renders the place entirely useless.
  
  Not that it isn't entirely useless in the first place.

• On the post: Reuters Tries To Explain Away Its Refusal To Call Torture 'Torture'

  Re: Thanks for pushing this Mike...

  "The other point, which is more debatable, is whether or not you believe that journalists are making it easier for people to engage in torture."
  
  At first I thought that was a bit of stretch but 20 seconds later I arrived at "unfortunate side effect"
  
  I would also posit that its largely a moot point. The position still assumes, in this case, that some transparency will somehow fix the issue. I seem to think otherwise. The US will still torture folks with impunity and not give a shit what people think.
  
  I suspect my glass is half empty today lol..

  Re: Re: Great

  I was largely being sarcastic but I appreciate the time you spent to properly iterate my point for me lol. I agree with you entirely.
  
  I would posit, however, that this ploy of his still demonstrates a lack of understanding regarding some pretty simple shit :)
