Yes, they did. And they got it. No problem there.
"Didn't know it was all due to us idiot FReepers."
No, I said the idiots were those on this board who are now pushing for a U.S. Supreme Court showdown.
Dude, why are you so exerised about this?
Granted, no one sane was too keen on this case, but the plaintiffs were not to be dissuaded.
I’ll even stipulate that there are many ways for this to go bad, and only one way for it to go right, but what FReepers think about the tactics isn’t going to have any effect on what happens. Myself, I’m going to root for the good guys.
Maybe you’re just trying to stake out territory so you can say “I told you so” if (as I think likely) this case goes against us? That’s weak, homeslice.
Your statement is correct - and also quite irrelevant. The case will proceed or not, no matter how many threads we have here about it, and no matter the content of those threads.
Thus, all you have done is to gratuitously insult all those on FR who think differently than you. Maybe you don't care about that, but we are supposed to be a bit more polite and civilized than the DUmmies*. If you have an argument that is not ad hominem* and which is cogent, then I think that people would be more willing to consider it. You don't have the greatest history in this regard, as the responses to you in this thread bear out.
*You might note that I just engaged in an ad hominem attack on the DUmmies. The difference between my attack and yours is that I'm beyond trying to have a rational discussion with those people, since most of them are incapable of it. They make their political decisions based on "feelings" and cannot be reached by most logic. I sincerely believe that most FReepers are different, and if YOU want to reach any of us and convince us that you're correct, then stop the personal attacks. Otherwise, BEGONE!
