Here's the deal for those who missed yesterday. The proprietors of a certain website also publish a copyrighted newsletter for a fee. The newsletter contains a story about the nuke incident that allegedly occurred about two weeks ago. The proprietors of the website/newsletter, directly and/or through shrills and trolls, promoted the story, newsletter, and website by openly discussing it on radio and on various forums including FR, and specifically TM. No one complained about copyright infringement as long as the sheeples said nice things about the article and the authors. Over the last few days, however, several people here and at other forums, challenged, criticized, and attempted to debunk the nuke story. After a several month absence, one of the proprietors of the website/newsletter suddenly showed up hereusing his well known screen name. A flame war broke out, and the proprietor of the website/newsletter threatened JimRob and others with a copyright infringement and defamation lawsuit. Out of an abundance of caution, Mr. Robinson yanked hundreds of threads, banned the antagonizer, and asked us to refrain from discussing that particular website and newsletter. You can agree or disagree with JimRob's decision, but the "golden rule" dictates and therefore, please respect his decision and do not discuss that website, newsletter, or article.
