What I don't get is why you have to post so many comments on a subject you don't like or are interested in. I'm not going to play the game where you start questioning me personally, then the whole conversation becomes about me. Let's agree that we don't need to go there. If you'd like answers to your question, I'm more than happy to provide them offline. I think we actually agree. This IS the biggest tech story of the year, perhaps the decade. I'm just asking folks to do a bit of self-censorship and cut back on the activism and gossip posts. Like I said, if something truly breaks, I'm all for posting and discussing it. But stuff like "take your PayPal business elsewhere!" and "Wikileaks lawyers watched!" and others have this breathless quality that's just a bit over the top. The only thing it invites -- the only purpose it has that I can see -- is a bunch of guys to pile on with "hell yeah!" posts and comments. You guys want to keep posting them, I'll keep responding and flagging. Fair enough. I just wanted to explain myself, because in the several years I've been on here, I've probably flagged less than 20 stories. I hate flagging.
