Because Youtube/Google will squash him like a bug.
Anyone know the statute of limitations for being a dick?
Yeah, most bullies only use standover tactics on people they know will cave.
Countdown until this thread is also vanished by the Zotti the Brave.
This really sums it up nicely.
Done and done.
I’m not sure if MikeG from Chicago is going to do anybody a whole lot of good anymore than Joey P from Milwaukee. Though, if you spend enough time combing through my posting history, I’m pretty sure you could track me down.
I think the old adage applies: if you eavesdrop on others you’ll hear nothing good about yourself. The guy should have quit self-googling.
Can you move a little bit to the left? You’re blocking my view of the tv.
I’m not understanding your statement. If Zotti is the one we are speaking to then Zotti is the only one we know who is making the decision. If there is something or someone else behind the decision, then there is a deficiency of honesty in his post on the matter.
I think this is one of the most important issues ever encountered on the Dope. I believe that the shape of the world is as much determined by major wars or landmark legal decisions as it is by the outcome of little battles fought by little people to protect small rights.
Some people would like a world dominated by fairness, reason and equality. Others want a world where might makes right - usually powerful people who have the means to to forcefully enforce their desires. I think this is a sad day.
And now people are apparently mentioning on reddit that he’s suing this place, and mocking him for that. (According to a youtube clip of said incident at the Oscars)
I say Redacted should learn that if he’s going to talk the talk, he needs to walk the walk. Grow some balls and own up to what you did.
And um, I’ll sue the pants off of anyone who disagrees with me. Thanks. 
Frankly, Ed could have just deleted the thread and not said boo about it. Seven year old threads could go missing every once in a while and there’s no need to get all Nancy Grace shrill about it.
I think all the anti-vax threads need to be deleted before Jenny McCarthy or whoever that woman that’s married to Jay Cutler threatens to sue the board.
I hear these types of arguments but I never understand them. Saying it’s a seven year thread implies it does not matter. By that logic, if it does not matter to us then it should not matter to the person trying to remove it either, because, after all, its a seven year old thread.
In this case there is also the fact that very recently, the poster, not Zotti was threatened with legal action, and a thread about that has also been suppressed.
If you do not know the difference between this and Nancy grace shrill, I hope you are not a current voter.
I agree. What’s wrong with occasionally showing graciousness even to people who don’t necessarily deserve it?
Graciousness in the aftermath of legal threats is not the kind of graciousness I find noble. If he wants people to have a better opinion of him, he can come right in the pit and defend himself, apologize, explain his actions whatever.
Who, Ed, or the guy filing suit?
Yep. There have been posters that have been mocked/ridiculed/pointed at because of stupid shit they’ve said. Some of those posters have bounced back and shown themselves to be worthwhile individuals. Not naming names, we know who we are.
Maybe both:D
I choose to take Ed’s explanation at face value and believe the deletion was not the result of a threatened lawsuit.
