I get that I shouldn't really expect anything else from popehat, but how alienating is this article to people who aren't already onboard with this point of view

- dimino 11y agoClassy. What a waste of effort, writing the article was, then. I hope it was at least cathartic, because it sure as shit isn't forwarding the conversation one fucking iota.
- acheron 11y agoConsidering Ken broke the story in the first place, and there would be no "conversation" otherwise, I'm pretty sure he's done approximately infinitely more to "forward" it than you have.
- dimino 11y agoActually, I'd argue he's set the entire conversation back considerably. My inaction is much less harmful than this post, to the conversation overall.

- noobermin 11y agoFWIW, thanks for posting that. I can hardly read the OP.
- mariodiana 11y ago"Reason's Nick Gillespie and Matt Welch note that the subpoena originally appeared without an accompanying gag order. Instead, it only contained a request that the contents of the order not be shared with anyone." The lesson there is that if you get a subpoena without a gag order, you need to immediately broadcast it far and wide -- before the gag order comes.
