I may take this baby to court. Anyone want to join a class action suit? Mine is for slander and libel with damage to my business. If you have a similar issue with John and his cyber-terrorism, let me know.

I have no idea how many bytes there were. It was not my job to measure it. The point is, John C. Welch piled enough crap into a single comment to cause the page to fail/crash or load slowly for many users. Which I called a “primitive form of denial of service attack” which Welch then turned into a “Felonious distributed denial of service attack,” an absurd lie that he and his winged monkey (or is he the winged monkey, can’t remember) took to new heights of intertubual brethlessness and glenbeckosity in public, and in private have threatened legal access over.

So you see, if your just asking, I don’t know and I don’t need o know. If you’re defending him do go away. Thank you very much.

I’m extremely curious about this. I just checked, and the text of the entire front page of the Timecube site (which works out to nearly 2,000 lines of text) is only about 73 kilobytes… that is, about 7% of a megabyte. For plain text to be more than a megabyte, it would have to be about 28,500 lines.

And, RB, just because you are an old, unemployable relic of 80’s cocaine addiction,wannabe Blow style personal fantasies of power, and still a toddering closet queen, doesn’t make Welch any more of a blowhard than you.

I laugh, ans laugh, and laugh every time I read one of your circle jerking comments desperately prating on and on in the party line–with the closeted hope that “gosh I might get a talk to a gurl’

Your no doubt one of those pot bellied old ponytail types cruising around Phoenix in a Speedo like a terrier off-leash; a reeking, squeaking, prating droid–go buy a sexbot or something, and save us all from your useless comments.

I didn’t get anything in RagingBee’s comment that would imply he thinks women should shut up. I got that he thinks the Golden Rule isn’t always as easy to apply as one might think, and we should all be sensitive to that before approaching strangers. A compliment you’d like to receive isn’t necessarily one that they’d like to receive.

The Golden Rule doesn’t really mean do to others EXACTLY as you’d want done to you. It means that if you want to be treated as you like, you should also treat others as *they* like, insofar as that is practical. Go beneath the superficial level. Don’t just think about whether you’d like the compliment (though that’s a good place to start). Think about how they might interpret it, and how it might make them feel (not just how it would make *you* feel), and evaluate the action in that context. Yeah, you’ll crash and burn sometimes; people aren’t always easy to read, especially strangers. But it’s worth the effort. If you genuinely think the compliment will be well-received, go ahead and present it! But if it flops, move on. If the flop bothers you, maybe consider why it flopped and incorporate your findings into future situations.
