Why hasn’t Angelfire shut me down yet?

See, you don’t even understand what’s going on. The post in question is no longer linked on the main page. It does, however still EXIST.
Viewing your disturbingly stupid homepage, I discover that you consider Wally properly notified. But, see dumbass, you can’t just notify somone that you’re going to use something they created.
You have to have permission. Otherwise it’s stealing.

As for the original, while the Threadspotting link has been replaced, it’s still at http://boards.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum4/HTML/005772.html . If you want to amuse people without breaking any copyright laws, just provide a link. I couldn’t even begin to guess at the myriad reasons why Angelfire hasn’t shut you down, but I doubt they research the copyright permissions on every page that people have on their servers.
I think some of the reasons Yue Han called your page disturbingly stupid are the inane remarks you make about Cuba and your tendency to refer to yourself in the third person. Why do you assume that he was referring to the design and not the content? And then you use this assumption (which is completely unfounded) to base further assumptions about Yue Han on.
Lastly, what the hell is that sig supposed to mean?
Well, NOW what are the two of them supposed to do? Ping Pong? See a movie? Play videogames? The mind boggles.

Voted “Most Empathetic”- can you believe that?
A martyr for what?
For the right of people everywhere to blatantly steal whatever they want off the web and repost it? I love how he calls copyright protection fascism. I love the “Polemic on Western Fascism, Imperialism and Ignorance” that he has posted. It reads like a post by Mary Hart’s Legs.
Damn, it’s going to be sad to see this get taken down. I think I disagree with the Sip’n Fly on every opinion expressed on the site, except for the contention that Wally kicks ass. I think “disturbingly stupid” gives this site too much credit. This is a parody site, right? Please tell me it is.
While it still is impossible to copyright a messsage board and Angelfire is NOT going to shut me down no matter how much you bitch.
I have decided that the transcript is taking up too much space so and to make Wally happy.
Also, I dont give a flying fuck “water” if you disagree with me, at least I have the balls to speak my mind. That post “Polemic on Western Facism” was posted by someone with the Alias “Fundy Monkey” on the Atheist Note Pad message board. I asked permission because it was what I consder “intellectual” property, I received permission.
It’s sad to see the internet turn into such a beuracratic mess. If idiots who think they can copyright message boards, and assholes you can’t think for themselves trample over the net…
Show me a post where I demanded “eye candy.” Your page is stupid because the ideas expressed ARE THE IDEAS OF AN IDIOT. Or possibly, a smarter-than-average 12 year old. But if you’re an adult, or even a teen, you’re a freakin’ moron.
If your ideas were intellignet, your page would be good, without eye candy.
But your page sucks. It sucks hard. The only entertaining thing there is Wally’s post, and that’s ILLEGAL.
Even if you don’t think a message board can be copyrighted, surely you can respect the individual copyright that Wally undoubtedly has in a work of his own creation?
Hell, I’m a lawyer, but even I think common decency comes first.

What is so wrong with speaking in the third person? I felt like doing that for one entry. Guess what, it was a random thought, unedited, pure. Unlike the censored things you enjoy.

Jodi tells the Sip’n Fly that talking about yourself in the third person makes you look pretentious and silly. Jodi tells the Sip’n Fly that the only person capable of speaking in the third person without looking pretentious and silly was Queen Victoria. Jodi tells the Sip’n Fly that Queen Victoria is dead. Jodi tells the Sip’n Fly that idiocy is not filtered out by “random, pure” thoughts, which quite often can be idiotic and can be improved by being made a little less random and pure. Jodi tells the Sip’n Fly that while it may not be technically illegal to steal someone else’s post, it’s not nice.
I would much enjoy it if you, Jodi, would point exactly what parts of the site that are supposedly stupid.
Come on, there is nothing on that site that is anyway stupid. Very few of you have the balls to be different, to do something the majority doesn’t like. What ideas are stupid? Ideas that hurt your head?
Just as I thought. Look if you can’t take reality, and dont’ realise the fact that people don’t do things just for your enjoyment, people do things to for themselves, and for nobody. The world doesn’t revolve around you so kindly stop calling me a “moron”
