>>It's about the underhanded legal threat against a respected SI poster by a pompous bureaucrat who lacks the guts to reply to Porter on this forum, but who has a sizeable legal budget, and in a fit of cowardice has chosen to use it in one last suicidal offensive.<< I'm with you, Marcos. These snakes from the TSE crawl on their bellies as far as I'm concerned. They've got their rep on this thread to flog their damn products, and instead of engaging in a constructive discourse or debate, they chose to send in the intimidation squad. What cowards, what vermin, what filth! Further disgusting is their threat against SI, which didn't neglect to use the carefully chosen legal term "liability." As far as I'm concerned, both of these matters constitute an assault on speech that should anger and outrage any member of the SI community, and I'm starting to become very disappointed that more folks haven't expressed their utter contempt for this disgraceful action on the part of the TSE. My sincere regards go out to everyone who has demonstrated their commitment to the universal principle of free speech, which I consider endowed upon every one of us by our creator."One man is a tyrant because a thousand men are slaves." So let us express our contempt for the petty bureaucrats of the TSE, for their utter lack of principles, for their underhanded threat against an essential human right we all share, for their assault on the right of a fellow threader to speak the truth and express his opinions, and for their slaves and lackeys, the scummy lawyers who produced this contemptible piece of garbage that went out to Porter and to SI. salud !!
