Someone on WP quoted a post from Zack's blog and posted it on WP and he didn't like it. So he is suing Alex for it. I mean I don't see news stations and newspaper companies suing forums just because someone quoted their article and posted the link.

meh. I'm probably going to get flamed, but that's pretty fucking stupid.


Why would I flame you for saying TheZack is stupid? It's true.  :laugh:

Nah not you, I meant the anti WP brigade.

I like WP, and I like intensity. You'll find I have an unbiased opinion on both.
I subscribe the anti-Alex brigade. What does that make me?

No more stupid than before, likely.

Internet copyright is fuzzy at best. Alex's dad is a lawyer and probably good enough at what he does. I'm pretty sure Alex talked to him before taking a stand.

Maybe, maybe not. He can be foolishly impulsive at times; that's what leads to him saying something reeeally awkward like the bit about Starb's suicide, and then frantically backpedaling and editing/erasing stuff.
You'll never self-actualize the subconscious canopy of stardust with that attitude.

So true. Let's hope that other guy has a case, then. ;D

Sounds almost aspie or something.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

 :laugh: Yeah I know. Hey, I'm grasping at straws here. I know there's nothing I can do about Alex and I'm not even convinced that anything should be done.

Biased.

Oh come on... I said anti WP, not anti Alex. To be honest, A lot of members have gotten a lot of good out of WP. Whether or not he has been actively involved in helping these people is another story.

Now, I will be flamed, but I agree with this.  LOL

I can think of two specific examples, who went there for a time and left, who I stayed in contact with for a while, who were benefited by their exposure. One lives not far away and we may yet meet up, since we still talk some.

They were not the regular teen types who go there, though.

I only said that since Hadron says he subscribes to the anti-Alex brigade, it makes him biased. Meaning he is not neutral.

For a brief period of time, I did get something out of WP myself.

I think a lot of us did, then got burned.  It's kinda like we were all betrayed by the same psycho ex and share the same hurt and rage.
it is well known that PMS Elle is evil.
I think you'd fit in a 12" or at least a 16" firework mortar
You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.
