my point has merely been the following:

(1)this is a game, not kindergarten.
(2) part of gaming culture and social interaction permits the rules to be USED
rather than enforced
(3) uri, as a publisher, has the same protections
as the publisher of the new york times or the los angeles times
(4) uri was denied due process and suffered a real-world financial loss as a result
(5) the TOS is a totalitarian document that denies the protections of the US bill of rights
to the people who sign it (people in TSO have
fewer rights than do prisoners under the geneva convention relative to communication)
(6) coco and ian are so far unable and/or unwilling to describe and explain (a) how they
arrive at their special interpretation of the TOS and (b) who or what empowers that interpretation, other than the “tigger says so” defense.
(7) this issue is important because what happened to uri could happen to anybody so long as people do not examine the implications of TOS agreements as they are written presently.

also i note that the extent of the mental firepower of the coco/ian argument consists of
the “humdog is uri’s bitch” argument in one form or another. now that is a fine argument if they want to make it — and i admire it in the full glory of its joyous stupidity — but it has absolutely nothing to do with anything that
is happening on earth or above the earth or below the earth either, or even in far distant galaxies,or in anybody’s imagination other than the seven autonomic nervous system cells that power the coco/ian coalition.

now i think i have been very nice and reasonable about this whole issue. i have never called you a bunch of six year old playground despots, nor have i questioned how long it took you to get through the fourth grade, and i have never told you how amusing i find your logic. no. i have not done that. i have asked you nice and reasonable questions politely, and you have persisted in writing arguments that containing logic that sounds as if it had been reasoned out by monkeys from hell. soon i may lose my fine spanish temper with you two morons, but not today.

thank you for your time and trouble,

humdog

Allow me to point out once again that neither I nor Ian brought up this issue. Humdog brought up this issue:

“you yourself were impaled upon unwritten stuff. as you know.”

Uri knows I’m not obsessed with this issue. He knows I don’t bring it up, and I don’t speak about it unless he or Humdog brings it up. I don’t believe Ian ever has either.

But then, Uri is disingenuous in the extreme.
