Pirate Bay tied to terrorism.

Terrorist have been using cyber-weapons on the internet, the same medium used by the Pirate Bay to distribute files.

The real argument should corporations be artificial people with all the rights of natural people

But not all the obligations.

If I'm not mistaken, there was a ruling, not long ago, that prevented corporations for being held liable for crimes against humanity.

Because the whole world is either European or American. Funny considering the subject deals with New Zealand.

Where do you live?

No matter what your answer is, I'm pretty sure I'll be able to lay the blame on you for not holding authorities accountable.

The only way to avoid this argument is for you to claim you agree with everything the authorities do. In that case, I'd realize the conversation is pointless.

You're saying there was no such requirement for proofs back a year ago? No verification process?

I can't say either way right now but I suspect there was. Since there was a change of rules (from mod verification) to place proof in post in august 2011 (after you posted). But it still seems like there was a form of verification.

That said, you're right about the specific rules I quoted you. They DO NOT apply to your post.

I'll look it up later.

I'm sorry but I just have to call bullshit on that argument.

I just quoted you the rules of that subreddit. If you choose not to follow them. You accept the consequences.

So if I am the one that has a burden of proof, I assume you mean that the people calling me a liar do not need any proof ?

Not exactly but close. One side doesn't need to demonstrate anything and can healthily assume you're fake until you prove it. That's how it works.

Again - if this is the case, it is indeed a problem.

No, It's not a problem. It's a measure against hoaxes and trolls and it works. It also adds legitimacy to the posts that are true.

You're attacking reddit for a completely false expectation of how it's supposed to work and a disregard of its rules. And it certainly doesn't help when you exaggerate the reaction as if it had been a persecution.

did involve a lack of proper proof? Because that subreddit, after being burned plenty of times, explicitly encourages demands of proof or else, downvoting the thread to prevent hoaxes.

You must provide proof of your identity in the body of your post when you submit your IAmA

        If your identity is absolutely confidential, you may message proof to the mods

        If your post is suspected fake and you do not verify proof, it may be subject to removal

This is apparently the post you're referring to.

It seems to be more complex than just being called a liar for one post.

And I see an alarming rate of exxageration in many things you post:

I posted (by request) some truths - was quickly lynched by several thousand users, branded a liar and a troll and forced out of the community.

The liar and troll part doesn't seem to come exclusively from that post but from a series of posts in australian subreddits in addition to that last iama.

And anyone with a healthy dose of skepticism would react adversely to everything you say in the end:

Where I am now

        Pretty much friendless and for ever alone, and no prospect of that changing

        Pretty much penniless, as my previous attempts at creativity failed costing me money.

        I spend 99% of my week in a room where I work, sleep, eat and play WoW sometimes (mostly solo because of the condition).

        Looking at a future which has no hope of getting better, and trying to stave off suicidal thoughts long enough to maybe win the lotto and enable my creativity to flourish again.

Feel free to ask questions, but remember - because I imprint - I respond in kind, I can't help that. In advance I appreciate your comments, even if it seems that I might not.

What I'm trying to say is. Regardless of the veracity of your statements. You have the burden of proof.

Hey! You have more friends than you know! Add more random people!

X just added Y. Don't you know Y? Add Y!

Come on, man! Catch up with your friends! Right now! Log in!

second AC I read that says this. I'd be cool if you provided examples so as to validate your anonymous claims a bit better.

link? subreddit? username? anything to support your claim? moderators who banned you? Actions you took after it?
