Although I disagree with many of Koby's comments, I think yours comes off as very viseral and emotional, bordering on hateful.
Failure to respond will count as such a retraction.
Failure to respond by what date? If he chooses to wait until May 11th, 2023 @ 07:13:09 AM, and then dump a couple of gigs worth of proof, will you apologize? Will you provide a complete retraction of everything you have ever said on this site. Now?
Arguing will count as such a retraction.
By definition, if he were to provide said proof, that IS his argument, is it not?
Trolling will count as such a retraction.
I've never met Koby, and I have called him out on his opinions before. My responses here are merely to point out that the five parameters you list that count as a retraction seem to be, as I said, to be a very viseral, emotional reaction to an opinion you disagree with, rather than a definitive argument as to why you believe Koby is incorrect in his assertation.
Misdirection/whataboutism will count as such a retraction.<br /> Any response other than that which has been requested will count as such a retraction.
Those last 2 were just amusing.
If the basic tenet of "Freedom of Speech" is designed to foster discussion between 2 opposing viewpoints, yours, quite honestly, sounds like you're not interested in letting him voice his opinion. And that is exactly what it is.....HIS OPINION.
Mike could exercise his editorial right (as owner of this blog) to simply delete Koby's comment (including the link that allows users to see it if they want.)
Order a pizza and chill, brother. :)
I guess Trump thinks that since Nixon is dead, so is the law......
https://www.history.com/news/8-things-you-may-not-know-about-jonas-salk-and-the-polio-vaccine Point number 6: Salk did not patent his vaccine. On April 12, 1955, the day the Salk vaccine was declared “safe, effective and potent,” legendary CBS newsman Edward R. Morrow interviewed its creator and asked who owned the patent. “Well, the people, I would say,” said Salk in light of the millions of charitable donations raised by the March of Dimes that funded the vaccine’s research and field testing. “There is no patent. Could you patent the sun?” Lawyers for the foundation had investigated the possibility of patenting the vaccine but did not pursue it, in part because of Salk’s reluctance.
What you're essentially saying here is that these users are getting CockLockBlocked???
...and libs prefer to live in their own ignorance when commenting on yet another example of conservative bias. Jerry, ya picked the wrong forum to do that.
For anyone interested, here are several links to Verizon's privacy policies.. (I found one that they have for license plate readers that they operate....WHAAAAAAT??)

Hey, Andrei Iancu, you make an excellent point.
I refer you to Dr. Jonas Salk, who invented the cure for polio. If he hadn't secured that patent, imagine all the billions of dollars he would have lost....
......oh, wait, THAT NEVER HAPPENED. He NEVER patented it. He gave it away for THE GREATER GOOD OF SOCIETY, not to make fistfuls of cash....
How about PatentTroll.Techirt.com, just for Richard Liebowitz ?
Koby:
I have probably disagreed with you more than I have agreed with you on your various comments on this blog.
And even though I must wholeheartedly disagree with you on the Section 230 argument, I do enjoy reading your comments. If the FCC borks Section 230 I will, alas, miss those diatribes.
Because if Section 230 is dismantled as Mike/Steve et al. have described, Techdirt (and pretty much every website that has user generated comments), will be forced into a position of taking down the ability for you to post your comments and for me to love/hate them.
Think of MEEEEEEEEEE :P
I'm in Ohio, and I'm not a blogger mentioned in the lawsuit. I'll be happy to post his information, if nothing else, than to piss off a white supremacist... :) :)
So, if say, big name Twitter users got hacked. Perhaps Obama, Biden, or such? I can see the flaw going away overnight /s
..can the users sue the state of California for this??
From the actual law....
(b) Exceptions to grant of authority
The authority granted to the President by this section does not include the authority to regulate or prohibit, directly or indirectly—
(1) any postal, telegraphic, telephonic, or other personal communication, which does not involve a transfer of anything of value;
"Either way, it was announced today that the Trump administration was likely to order ByteDance to shed TikTok..."
Exactly how does Trump have the authority to tell a Chinese firm to sell one of its assets???
Not sure I would have put "Boys and Girls club" and "strange bedfellows" in the same sentence......
I can imagine Jack Dorsey looking at his watch on Jan 20, 2021, just waaaaaiting for the hands on his Mickey Mouse watch to hit 12:01pm.
Then, he flips the switch and deletes Trump account...
I'll be happy to donate $10 for a roll of duct tape for her mouth.... :)
P.S. Ms. Gilles, why don't you go outside and play a nice round of "Hide and Go f*ck Yourself".
I'm pretty sure the Patent office hasn't issued Ms. Gilles a patent (yet) for being a twatwaffle...
Bloodbath to come...
Gotta agree with Anonymous Coward on this one. (Although I use a Kindle for books)
Just chilling on the couch, with a big bowl of popcorn, watching the cable companies implode.... LOL
