It's hilarious how much power you people attribute to Ted -- he wrote a few paragraphs sprinkled with profanity juxtaposed with a picture found off 4chan, how damaging is this really suppose to be? -- and how delightful you people are in taking him down a notch.
A troll is only as powerful as the audience he gathers. It's also the internet, take the joke, it's not serious business. You people bought his shit hook, line and sinker but now want to drag out his 15 minutes of fame some more.
So, Jay? Nothing personal against you but how about this? Move on. No one cares. Focus on your own shit instead of taking pot shots just like he did.

- asdflkj 18y ago"It's also the internet, take the joke, it's not serious business." That looks like a non sequitur to me. If it's a joke and not "serious business", fine. Same might be said of a person yelling profanities at you on the street. But what does the Internet have to do with it?

- jayliew 18y agoAlaska Miller, I agree that we're giving him too much power by all the attention. But he already has gathered the power through all that he has wrote - thus, it's not like I'm contributing to the problem in any significant way. and to quote someone else on YC: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=336367 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=336367 Reminds me of the maxim: Be nice to people on the way up, because they’re the same ones you’re going to meet on the way back down again. Also, thanks for the good advice to move on, but also know that I haven't not moved on. If I held any parts of my life back because of this person, then shame on me for letting his poison affect me at all. So yes, I am focused on my own shit. But I still enjoy taking the pot shots.
