Exactly. Thiel, Hogan and Gawker are all unpleasant characters. But it's surprising how skewed many of these comments against Gawker. This reflects the heavily anti-free speech sentiment that has taken over the US and the online communities. I have my suspicions that billionaires are funding the anti-free speech lobbies online > It worked. Gawker felt like they were in the right but resource exhaustion got them in the end. It was a billionaire using his money to essentially shutdown a news/media outlet by suing it over and over again. It would be like Bezos suing a small bookstore over and over again to bankrupt them.
