priorities
Yesterday, My boss emailed me and let me know that I need to stop registering and posting on wht from our office, because Dennis (softwarerevue) called and let them know that if I do it again, that they’ll ban our office ip ranges.
This is pretty interesting, because I haven’t trolled wht from work in several weeks. I quit doing this from work for the benefit of my coworkers / bosses who continue to post on their forum.
Upon hearing this, I regged a new account from home, “srsly not ub3r” and posted a thread entitled “hey dennis”:
Maybe if your administration made logical decisions I wouldn’t have to reg and tell the people how to seek retribution. Also, nice job calling my boss to try and make me lose my job. I haven’t logged on from work in weeks, and quit specifically for the benefit of my boss and the other employees who chose to post on your ‘powered by liability’ forum. Every little post i’ve made has been done from home, on an open wifi connection that has no static ip address, and is being continually shifted throughout the greater chicago area within comcast’s network. Good luck banning those ip’s, you’ll piss off a good number of people if you put those ranges down.
But, i’m concerned with dennis’ priorities. His forum is on the verge of being sued & fined by a giant flock of extremely powerful companies who have a very valid reason to make inet interactive non-existent, and dennis has still found time to handle my trolling of his forum.
I know troy augustine has money, but is inet really prepared to shovel out the thousands, possibly millions of dollars these companies are likely to be grabbing for in the distant future?
Trolling isn’t a crime. It’s free speech, and I’m going to do it for as long as I want from the comfort of my home. There isn’t anything anyone can do to stop me. Except for tha attacker guy, the next time he forces the moderators to close wht, i’ll probably giggle, and proceed to troll it 24 hours after they reopen with their pathetic explanation.
More power to you man.
