what exactly is your moronic argument?
because people can be framed the pursuit of justice can't proceed?
people have always attempted to pervert justice. that's not an argument against justice itself, it's just another thing that justice needs to be gotten for
fair enough
but it's like pointless overheated arguments about what a "hacker" is
words evolve in meaning
troll has multiple meanings
you can't get what you ask for
low grade twitter harassment is not going to be dealt with by the police
not all justice rises to the level of police and court involvement. it's not "vigilantism" if the stakes and consequences are low
you have standards which are unrealistic and will never be met, therefore you should read my words again and understand what schilling did is 100% appropriate and responsible
Just because this case is pretty black and white doesn't mean they all will be. The next time, some jackass will create social networking profiles with breadcrumbs leading back to their real target, and with minimal effort will get a Curt Schilling to do the dirty work, and bear the legal liability, for them.
did you hear that folks?
because someone might get framed for murder, we can't go after real murderers
because someone might get falsely accused of rape, no rapist can ever be punished
because someone might get lynched by a hysterical mob, all acts of actual justice are invalid
genius
we're talking about targeted low grade comeuppance for bad behavior, directed at the actual douchebags who committed the bad behavior
we're not talking about targeting waves of completely innocent teenage girls for hysterical spasms of imagined delusional fantastic crimes, and then murdering them brutally
so no, sorry, your analogy sucks and you don't know what you're talking about
trolls are common pathetic cowards. they're middle school bullies in adult bodies if they aren't in fact actual middle school bullies. any effective defense against their lame efforts immediately chases them away like shining a light on a bunch of cockroaches
you're talking about another kind of douchebag: the stalker
but what gets the kind of person who becomes a celebrity stalker excited isn't avenging trolls
if curt schilling or his daughter attract an actual griefing stalker, it won't be because of this episode
and even then, the proper defense is the response he's already engaged in: a good offense. shut the shitbag down, hard, immediately. schilling sounds like he has his act together. his daughter will be protected and taken care of from the slime out there
Six more weeks of winter? Brrr.
Face it, America is now being ran by people who don't believe the law applies to them.
Just now?
Anything you leave behind at a crime scene is fair game.
What about stuff you leave behind NOT at a crime scene?
So they got some DNA at a crime scene, but don't know whose it is. They think it might be you, but the judge denies them a warrant based on lack of evidence... so they follow you around until they see you throw away a cup, or a piece of gum, or sneeze and toss the tissue away in a public place. Then they amble up and help themselves.
The couldn't get a warrant for your DNA, but because its impossible to live a normal and free life without shedding DNA they just had to wait a while until you left some behind.
Whether or not that is "ok" is something that deserves national discussion.
If she is so smart, then how come she got caught?
She didn't care, because she knows there won't be any consequences.
So, I have two options. I can shut up and never talk to anybody about topics relevant to my profession, or I can through trial and error attempt to find a way to deal with uninformed Internet police mucking up topics they don't know anything about using only the most kindergarten of rule sets to distinguish shitposts from honest criticism.
Like you, there are things I like about Microsoft, and things I don't. I post criticism about Microsoft quite often and don't seem to run into the same problems as you. Perhaps they just don't take me seriously enough, considering I have very little (read: no) influence on other posters opinions on here.
Any time I ever common on anything having to do with Microsoft, I get pummeled by a PR firm. But this is a *positive* post, no criticism, so maybe the minimum wage public opinion manipulators will leave me along this time.
FYI, they get paid *$8.00* per hour. With the amount of disdain you show for them, it's no wonder they hound you so much!
Imagine the reaction on the Left if, for example, Dick Cheney had EXCLUSIVELY used a private, non-government email server his entire time in office.
It would be *different*, because it was Dick Cheney (in other words, not their guy). Sadly, this would probably be one of the least egregious things Puppet Master-in-Chief Cheney has done.
