...And the occasion is a fight for a civil society.
This is not going to be a free and fair exchange of ideas. This is going to be a fight. If you have not absorbed that fact yet, you are already losing."
And speaking of Gawker and Thiel: we had a billionaire spoiled brat that did not like what the tacky, new-media, gossipy rag had to say about him and his sexuality -no matter it was TRUE- so he auditioned willing legal patsies until he found a sympathetic plaintiff in a washed-up "wrestler" who was filmed carrying on an illicit affair with a friend's wife, and then bankrolled the "wrestler" in his legal, sucker-punch attempt to take down said gossipy rag. A jury of white-trash cretins provided the final punch, and said gossipy rag was forced out of business for daring to cross the billionaire brat, who incidentally joined the Orange Anus' Cabinet. Miss anything?
