    How the fuck are MY rights affected by this stupid controversy?

    Seriously, do the editors have any concept of what rights really are.

    * A NOTE *

    Will persons interested in whining about the "your rights online" section occasionally containing articles which do not directly relate to the idea of rights on the internet please do so as a reply to this comment, instead of as a top-level comment. That way the rest of us may easily ignore you.

    Thanks, your cooperation is appreciated.

    Am I the only one who thinks that DOS'ing someone's website is crummy and ILLEGAL ? Yeah, I read O'Gara's story, and yeah she wrote some pretty unprofessional, rude, and possibly illegal things, but the hackers trashed LinuxWorld, which only posted the story. In TFA the interview-ee says that its a NATIONALLY-syndicated column, so, even if somone were to DOS a site, why not DOS HER website?

    Who are these people who were "hurt"? Emotionally fragile fanboys? The toadys who hang out at Groklaw?

    It's rather ironic how much Groklaw yells about FUD, but if you wade into the comment sections, the shallow FUD about Sun and Microsoft goes from wall-to-wall from those lamers.

    Groklaw's credibility has been diminished for very specific reasons, including its censorship policy, hypocrisy and flouting Godwin's law.

    Let's be clear: PJ threw the first punch at MoG by publicly accusing her of lying. Thereafter, the Groklaw community regularly attacked MoG in the most vicious and personal terms. If someone was anonymously running a web site attacking me, I sure would want to find out who was behind it.

    Reminds me of the cartoon where the guy says, "I'm not waiting for my identity to be stolen. I'm selling it on eBay."

    But you're selling yourself cheap! Look how much those "journalists" got for selling Bush's health plan! Scores of thousands! Go for the big bucks! Start writing articles claiming Linus is gay! That Linux is actually written by Red Chinese hackers! That Linus is a "foreign terrorist" - worse, a Communist! (Oh, wait, Bill already said that...)

    Remember, the bigger the bullshit, the bigger the payoff!

    YOU COULD BE PRESIDENT SOME DAY!
