< Your earlier post >
As long as you do everything you can to shut down any dissenting viewpoints. And you wonder why the people you don't agree with feel the need to hold a 'Free Speech Party'.
< Then you followed up with this bullshit >
I never said you couldn't say what you said. I merely asked that if the roles were reversed, would you be okay with someone accusing you of shilling by mere virtue of attending an event with free refreshments? In your haste to launch into a tirade, you appear to have neglected to provide an answer. I then pointed out that opposing views are simply discarded rather than debated. Other than not being fond of Roger Ver as an individual (something you've been abundantly clear on), what is it you despise so much about this conference and the people who chose to attend?
Listen, you logic-deficient meatbag -- you abundantly IMPLIED I was "controlling what was said" by your little crybaby "everything you can to shut down" statement. Its amazing that I have to SPELL EVERYTHING OUT TO YOU like you're some aging OCR reader in a public library.
The entire "Free Speech" conference is a misnomer, a whining little spit-against-the-wind "protest" by someone who has no clue as to what the future will be. By covering it in the whinge-fest of "Free Speech", Ver is implying that he doesn't have the freedom to say what he wants --- BUT HE FUCKING DOES. So, when a user comes along and gives the all-smiles thumbs-up with a shitty shillpost, you better believe that I'm going to take them to task about it.
Ver can spread his ideas anywhere he wants, but by acting like he's a VICTIM, he only proves that his ideas weren't useful to begin with. If you have to play the card of being "oppressed", you've already lost your own PR battle. Its fucking maneuvers like these and his constant in-your-face-do-it-like-I-say-or-we're-doomed bullshit that gets under people's skin.
And yet, there are useful idiots that will defend him to the very end, perhaps because they identify with being VICTIMS instead of actually contributing towards some kind of progress.
Give me a fucking break with your "woe is me" crap -- this isn't a middle-school playground where you skinned your knee and everyone rushes to kiss your boo-boo.
