I find this part hilarious:

Mr. Hall, as a self-admitted proud pirate, what right do you have to condemn anyone else? I myself do not condone piracy either, of course. Piracy is vile and pirates should get many decades in prison. But to say that you are proud of being a pirate and a few paragraphs later condemn the practice... that is the height of hypocrisy!
