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.
Then we might as well shut down FR -- I mean, if what we say has no effect on anything.
I thought the purpose of FR was to allow an expression of opinion. That's what I'm doing.
Why you would look at that as my trying to "stake out territory" I don't know.
