This post uses a gift link, but some people do seem to be prompted to register. I can’t change SF Chronicle policy about that. They also have a history of sending lawyers after people who post archive.today links to their articles, so whatever you do, don’t plug the URL into that site.

    It does when you’re acting like you know better than the protesters, yet have done nothing that is actually better. Actually, you have not even proven that you’ve done anything even on par with them.

    Everyone know keyboard warriors have a point, yet everyone also know they are keyboard warrior because they lack the courage to do what they expect others to do. In that sense, you are just a hypocrite unless you prove yourself to not be one. Your use of specific terms to explain things don’t change the fact that nobody listens to people who tell others to do things they are not willing to do themselves. Talk is cheap, even if it’s based on the truth.

      No it doesn’t. Logic doesn’t change based on the speaker. Your username is a pedophile who supports Israel (and tedious wordcount-padder), and now that I have noticed it you are blocked for being too dense, just like his tasteless books.
