		<description>Totally busted, your behaviour in this case is unacceptable. I am and have been reposting this story on more than 40 blogs by end of day today seeing as you are censoring it here and will not apologize.</description>

		<description># 10 Barister said  &lt;i&gt; Good God! It was three days after 9/11 and the government came to these companies and ask them to help look for a larger conspiracy. They did it and now you want to sue them!! &lt;/i&gt;

We get attacked by some crazies and their first reaction is to flush the constitution down the crapper.

But here&#039;s the creepy thing: Bush authorized secret vast spying on Americans BEFORE 9.11.

		<description>god - your sarcasm is hilarious.  well done.  really.

Oh I know proles like us will be rude in these comments, my point was more that Eidard appeared to work here for Dvorak so I was hoping, incorrectly, for him to be above such behavior and possibly professional.  Oh well...</description>

		<description>Oh golly, oh gosh.  Someone at Dvorak Uncensored said something that was rude and offended.

The whole fracking world of blogs is founded on hotlinks - and the occasional dweeb whines about it.  Let&#039;s turn the whole Web into a tea party discussion club.</description>

		<description>Eidard - Do you think its reasonable to link to someone else&#039;s images/content without attribution?  Does Mr Dvorak?

Its disheartening to see this couldn&#039;t be dealt with in a reasonable manner and that even your response to Mike&#039;s latest comment was rude and intended to needlessly offend.</description>

		<description>Mike - if you read our comments guide [you do read things like that, right?], you&#039;d see that we edit a lot of crap from our comments.  One of which is personal agendas which do not contribute to the discussion topic.  Which is where your comment #12 fits.  And all previous.  

Your state of denial over essential web functions - like linking - are &lt;i&gt;your&lt;/i&gt; problem, not mine.

John has emailed you with his position on your behavior.  That&#039;s the end of it as far as I&#039;m concerned.  This is his blog and I try to comply with his standards - not yours.

btw - I replaced your image with a copyrighted image from the Associated Press.  I don&#039;t expect to be whined at by &lt;i&gt;them&lt;/i&gt;.</description>

		<description>Thank you for taking down the image you appropriated. That is responsible. What is irresponsible is now erasing all trace that it has happened. I would like an apology and an entry on why this happened, why my entirely reasonable comments have been deleted, and what the standard will be going forward.

Patiently waiting, and chronicling the event here:

		<description>&quot;You people, you people&quot;.  Yup.  Us silly people who think the Constitution is in place 24/7, good, bad or indifferent.

On the other hand, there are candyass opportunists who are willing to drop the rule of law for the rule of some dork in a white hat - I guess because they&#039;re in charge.  Right?

Pathetic.</description>

You people are probably the same ones who were screaming that the Bush administration should have connected all the dots!</description>

		<description>Parroting the conservative talking points again, I see:

This isn&#039;t the fault of constitution-hating  conservative Republicans.

The REAL problem is the Dems who haven&#039;t stopped them yet.</description>

[sarcasm on]
You are right Mike.  This has nothing to do with a President running roughshod over the Constitution and protecting his &quot;buddies&quot;.
