You seem to be refusing to answer the questions (which are not “representing” anything at this point) and if you don’t want to pin yourself down to something so mathematically basic as 20,000 > 500 or the year 1967 is earlier than the year 1978, you fail the basic honesty test so this conversation is futile.
It would be so easy to just answer the question and say, “No, Twitter does not have the authority to decide court cases, and no judge has ever said that it does.” At which point I could give you the quote where a judge wanted to slap punitive damages on somebody for seeking a LEGAL answer in the courts instead of simply trusting Twitter for LEGAL answers.
But you won’t even answer the basic question so we can’t even make it up to the batter’s box. I’m not interested in playing that kind of game. If I have to pull teeth just for us to agree on something as basic as these things, this is gonna be less fun (and productive) than dragging a mule across Texas. Life is too short for me to waste my time like that.
“You seem to be refusing to answer the questions [...]”
Yes, obviously I am denigrating your questions as so blatantly misrepresentative of what the courts actually held that attempting to answer your fantasies would be futile.
If you are unable to figure out whether, as you asked, Twitter has the authority to decide court cases, that’s your own failure. The position I’ve taken is if birthers can’t figure out even that much, well, so much for the birthers.
You, butterdezillion, introduced this question as some kind of indictment of our courts. O.K., if a court actually held that Twitter has the authority to decide court cases, as you suggested/implied, then then I’d at least have to take it seriously enough to answer.
So go for it. You raised the issue. If you cite and quote a U.S. court saying that Twitter has the authority to decide court cases, as you had presented, then I’d be in a tough spot. The advantage I have is that I’ve made a hobby of studying crank theories, and I’m pretty sure I know the court decision that you misrepresenting.
