This post was deleted for the following reason: Given the weird clusterfuck of things at play here, this feels like its leaning more to the maybe-not side of the single-use website fence. -- cortex

Interesting, but after the 3rd refresh I realized I was just giving more advertising impressions to whomever is running that website so I stopped reading.

"Johan Goldberg" is an apropos misspelling given his "nuh-uh, YOU are" attacks.

Wait...is declining to generate ad impressions for a person publicizing violent threats made by others a pro-Assange or an anti-Assange position?

Julian Assange the new Lady Gaga.

No offense intended Tim.

I'd like to ask a rightwinger what exactly they know about Assange and why they don't like him.

Julian Assange the new Lady Gaga.

Is he going to do something crazy like wear a weskit made of radiation or go to work for Polaroid?

It's mostly a "why the fuck do I have to reload this page over and over when you could have easily designed a website which had an actual real amount of content on it" position.

I don't look at "slideshow" presentation of material that could easily be a paginated article on other websites, either. It's just me -- I find the reloading tedious and would rather be presented with information I can read, not information I can nibble. And it all feels like a ploy to drive up ad impressions, no matter who is doing it.

All that said, it is amazing how many people with a public megaphone are willing to call for the death of someone. Seems like that should be discouraged within our culture.
