Jack Thompson Disbarred
Sockatume writes "The Florida Supreme Court has approved Judge Dava Tunis' recommendations for the permanent disbarment of John B. "Jack" Thompson, with no leave to reapply and $43,675.35 in disciplinary costs. The ruling is a step up from the enhanced disbarment that had been suggested by the prosecution, which would have forbidden him from reapplying for ten years. Thompson has 30 days to appeal the ruling before the disbarment is permanent. Thompson responds to the ruling."
I didnt even RTFA.
The Bar is the professional association of Lawyers. And you damn well know that. Psycho-boy :P
the goodwill Are a pathetic users. Surprise outstrips Cond0cted at MIT is dying. Fact: it simple, we nned to address recent article put
In a way, It's a stress reliever. We bicker and stuff on here regardless of the label "troll".
After all, what exactly is a label of "troll"? Someone who you dont agree with? Even Socratic logic indicates one should argue with the side you disagree with. In that regard, I am doing a community a favor. I'm not filling links to goatse, gnaa, fecaljapan, nor am I trying to overtly hack the html bounds engine (page lengthening posts).
And I'm pulling in the posts and argument, so I should even get paid for my services. Without argument and diatribe, nobody would stick around, given the bad articles and the stupid editors. I mean, the editors expect that we go through and rate everybody else without verification (have they fixed the overrated "bug"?), metamoderation to fix the bad moderations, and general groupthink. We see these articles that even newspapers have already printed, let alone Digg and the rest.
And I respond, really, why not?
And what makes you think I'm not working while posting these comments? You'd be amazed what a ssh to a linux box on the web posting via links can do.
"but the folks at Fox News would be glad to have someone who has fought against the streak of anti-Christianity sweeping the country (I know, I know)."
If what Fox News wasn't popular with Christians and therefore reflective of modern Christian belief they wouldn't be popular or influential. Jack Thompson and people like him represent modern Christianity even if a few fringe Christians disapprove.
"This post is an artistic work of fiction and falsehood. Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact."
Why not? You're the one responding. A troll is only allowed to continue when allowed. And you're allowing it.
My karma will drop, but it will raise yet again due to constant +4's and +5's. And, for the record, I do have serious conversations here on /. . Just not "Im glad to see X bad things happen" articles.I actually enjoy the OS theory questions, some Ask /., and a few others too technical for most others.
And, I'd think you would agree that we need a killfile akin to Usenet. There are trolls abound (well, me) and a shared plonka would be the last bastion that separates usenet from these damned forums.
I dont think you'd appreciate me doing this over at perlmonks, nor would I. They offer some damned good help :) I know you over there, as a completely different non-trolling nick.
As a last recommendation, use different usernames on different sites. I also recommend setting up your own mailserver that allows unlimited user creation. vadim_t (Aght) teleline (dought) es looks to be your email, given gentoo is correct. And no, I wouldnt attack your email. That's just too.. uncivilized.
[quote]I guess by your type of assessment, Catholicism is a fringe Christian group and Eastern Orthodoxy doesn't even exist. There is a whole world outside of the U.S. In some parts of it, they even speak languages other than English.[/quote]
No, you're wrong.
While some Christians may speak another language, English has to, and is, the main language of every God-fearing man. For the correct version of the Bible is the King James Version and it is written in English. While some so-called Christians might claim to read the Hebrew and other translated versions, they must realize that there can be some inaccuracies in translation and hence, should learn English to read the Word of God in its raw, uncorrupted form.
