Re: It should be obvious by now We can't call him Taylor Troll anymore. I demoted him to Taylor Parrot after his little rant saying that anyone whose computers were compromised by the Sony rootkit fiasco were thieves and deserved what happened. Never mind that the rootkit only caused problems for people who'd bought the discs. 
When he quits parroting the "militant anti-'pirate'" line and starts trying to hold actual debates, I might consider reinstating him to his former position. Honestly, I'm not holding my breath.

Atlanta, GA | Hey, he's got every right to be a "militant" anti-pirate.
It's about a million to one pro-pirate vs anti-pirate on the 'Net (which really speaks volumes of young people's morals these days,) so a speck of balance is a good thing. |

I'm sorry, did you read my post? Where I recounted how he said people affected by the Sony rootkit problem "deserved it" even though they were buying the product instead of pirating? I don't see where the Taylor Parrot introduces any sort of "balance" to ANY discussion.
While there may not be as many people on "his side" of the argument here, that leaves no reason to accept childish tripe as debate. I've got no problem with people who want to protect intellectual property, but I won't hesitate to call out simple trollish parroting where I see it. You've got the right to do the same. Neither "side" benefits when simplistic jingoism mars the discussion.
