Should really just drop a popehat link in there and let him do some reading.

It would be interesting to hear what he thinks his rights and liberty are/entail specifically.

I'm going to assume that any forum called "ratjoy" is NSFW. You can never be too careful.

Heh. Not sure about the ads (if any) but the site is a gaming site. It's short for rational joy. Not great but the owner seems to like it. :D The name I mean.

Economies of Scale is the game that has OO's attention right now.

There seems to be a language barrier at work.

At least that's my hope.

If not, sorry -- I have my quota of pigs to wrestle just right now.

Yeah, I thought of that, but if any forum member were going to engage in literal pig wrestling, wouldn't it be dbt?

What happens in the barn stays in the barn. If you think "free speech" means you can go blabbing about it on the internets, there are some good ol' boys out back who might need to have a word with you.

Indeed, that bloke seems to possess an almost Borat-esque mannerism.

BTW, that's a strangely apropos summarization of lawyering.
