The previous post is explicitly referring to a situation that involves gross abuse of rights.
Which I said nothing about in mine.
One might speculate that I omitted such reference because I found no particular fault with what was said about it. I might even agree that domain seizures have various bad properties. If pressed, I might even acknowledge that my objection stems from the same root assumption that people have rights and that having those rights violated is not cool, merely taken to the potentially heretical length that it remains not cool even when it's not a government doing it.
Alternately, one might conclude that because the banner I wave is not purest White that I must be the vanguard of an approaching army of Black, crusading enemy of freedom and probably no fun at parties.
Or, I could just take your refusal to clarify your thoughts as confirmation that you're just here to troll, and never actually intended to make a well thought out point.
Please accept my inclination to never post on this subject on HN again as a sign that I was not trolling. It is always exhausting to try to explain what is to me a fairly intuitive and moderate point to an audience that seems quite devoted to misinterpreting it as another salvo in a battle I have no interest in fighting. I am just deeply tired of doing it reflexively out of some weird sense of obligation that you or I or someone will be the better for it when experience tells me in <h1><blink> that boiling replies are never going to simmer down.
I have no obligation to explain anything to you, nor you to me. Let's leave it at that.
