When did Lessig ever post that on the Apple forum?
Lessig's deleted post is detailed here: http://lessig.tumblr.com/post/65338904338/wow-or-from-the-when-apple-became-the-borg-department http://lessig.tumblr.com/post/65338904338/wow-or-from-the-wh...
- Steko 13y agoGrandparent is talking about the post linked to by Lessig in this thread's linked article. Others are variously talking about that and/or the actual post(s) by Lessig you've linked to directly here.
- jamesbritt 13y agoSeems many people are focused on the one post that mentions law suits and using that to justify post deletion. But there are several other quite resonible posts that have been deleted as well.
- Steko 13y agoEvery post that people have brought up seems like it fails the basic rules of the forum: https://discussions.apple.com/static/apple/tutorial/etiquette.html https://discussions.apple.com/static/apple/tutorial/etiquett... Lessig claims to be astonished that his post was removed but his post was a repost of a post that was removed. Does that even make sense to anyone? Now Lessig is back with another example, the one being skewered in this thread for multiple reasons, not just the threat of lawsuits.
- Zigurd 13y agoThat's completely untrue. Providing information that you can solve your problems under warranty is helpful, constructive, factual, and a fix to the specific technical problem under discussion. It meets every point Apple cites as the characteristics of a proper forum post, unless of course it is impolite to criticize.
