Posted @ whirlpool - ILCF pt24

are you saying that stifling political dissent through the guise of protecting us from ourselves is pragmatic?

Sure, if you like, but in this particular case I was saying that my quoting of an article which you chose to claim was a breach of © was an example of pragmatism on my part.

IE, I really couldn't care if you thought it a breach of © or not, but even if it was, my view is that the ends justifies the means ... for after all, I'm just an (what was it ?) "annoying snot", eh ?

But seriously, don't expect me to get all fanatical about either protecting the internut in its current form OR seeing it turned into what it should be. It just isn't important enough to me to care all that much, especially when at the end of the day, it is FANATICISM which is the true enemy.

Such as the kind being birthed in various ILCF opponents in this very forum.

AFAIC, not only is "free speech" a BFW (cheers TISM) that certainly is not under the slightest bit of unjustified threat, but also the internut is far from being the be all and end all of such an over-rated and so misused animal.
