I was trying to get back to sleep after having awakened for some awful reason…and then I run across a thread on another board which I hang out on (no, it’s not Kos’ Kidz, so don’t worry), where a certain thread exists in regards to this article about Paramount’s smackdown of YouTube for allowing copyrighted material on their site.
Long story short: some frakkin’ little troll stomps its feet and whines, bitches and moans about Paramount’s supposed greed. It published many diatribes, but it still couldn’t get us to bow to its demands. It got pissed off and essentially stomped away:

Feh, well its clear to me that none of you are fans, just suckups to the corprate machine that would trample you without second thught…
Sell outs
I just cant wait till viacom gets more greedy and sues this place for all its got…. would show you that they have no respect for creative freedom.
I am done here, to hell with all of you if you think that destroying creativity is a good thing…

Its final tirade got me really pissed off, so I shot it a private message on the other board, which reads as follows:

Sounds to me like you’ve got an ax to grind against everyone these days, and I’m sorry that you do.
I’m also sorry that you have an anarchistic attitude toward society, when everyone on this board (on both sides of tha aisle, mind you) tries to debate you with reasons and you refuse to do so, spouting your “Corporatism is Evil” mantra.
Have you ever stopped to think that if you had your own site, bandwidth, and the like, along with all the technological goodies we have access to these days (after we pay for them, or in some cases, through the generosity of friends), you’d have all the artistic freedom you want to create whatever you want.
To paraphrase my own motto: “If you don’t like what we have to say…MAKE YOUR OWN BLOG!” Then you’ll have the true artistic freedom you so voraciously demand. Or, you could hang out with Kos’ Kidz, where you will find like-minded people and attitudes similar to what you’re comfortable with. Your choice. See ya!

NOW I feel much better, and can go back to bed. I haven’t felt this good since I smacked down a former Paleostinian ‘friend’!
