And politically correctness is not doing the typical. PC is when you go out of your way (usually diminishing your overall point) in an effort to ensure you do not offend ANYONE. Therefore outright calling someone an idiot is not PC.

Idiot.

“So pop the champagne bottles, another bad guy was disgraced today”

You’re as bad as the office of the attorney general. He wasn’t disgraced, no one is reporting that he’s an idiot but you. His statement that he won is as equally asinine as your statement that you won. Both of you lost in your stupid arguing. You always take the low ground in this regard by saying: “But we’re just a blog, we should not expect to be held to higher standards.”

On a separate but related note: can you please stop using TechCrunch as your personal attack platform for idiocy? There’s a lot of idiocy in the world, you’re not going change the world with it. We don’t read TechCrunch for your hard hitting attacks on handshakes and Attorney Generals. We read it for the news about exciting startups.

But I think you misunderstood my point. While McMaster’s actions were absurd, I don’t think that some of the advertising on the erotic section of Craigslist site was appropriate. Does that mean I was going to do anything about it? Even if I was President: no.

Your moral decisions are up to you not me. I’m in no way trying to tell you what to do; I’m just stating my opinion. That’s called America you retard.

There’s more story here. The possible tie to Larry Craig has been raised in comments. The tie to cops not getting their cut has been raised in comments.

Has anyone mentioned the powerful pimp lobby, and the resulting restraint of trade and anti trust implications?

This could get bigger before it gets smaller.

War is Peace. Freedom is slavery. And making fun of red staters on a tech blog is un-PC.
