Reply #86: Need a judgement call [View All]

I wrote up an email because this jack ass cannot go unchallenged:


{i}"...regarding the prof from UT Austin. Maybe you don't realize this or maybe you just don't care, but the article that you posted attacking Dr. Pianka has not only resulted in harassing, threatening emails and phone calls to him, but has affected the members of the Texas Academy of Science as well. In your article you state that Dr. Pianka 'endorsed' the release of the Ebola virus to eliminate ninety percent of the population. I suggest that you make public the recording, you claim to possess, of these statements and the resulting 'standing ovation' by other members at this awards ceremony. If you do not, or if you have mischaracterised this event, I then suggest that you retract your statements and call off the drooling, basement dwelling, misfits that answered your call for internet 'jihad'.


If it is proven that you perpetrated this act knowingly and with malice of forethought, then let me give you a preview of what awaits you on the 'internets'. Basically you will become an 'internet celebrity', wherein you will be mocked, humiliated, and your 'scholarship' will be gone over with a fine tooth comb, all of which will provide amusement to thousands. You will then face two choices, fight 'teh internets'(not wise) or crawl back under the rock you came(the best you'll get). Unless you're a craven attention whore or a massive persecution complex(likely) and relish this prospect, the best hope to avoid your coming 'celebrity' is to retract your article and call off aforementioned basement dwellers.


I actually hope that you don't choose the latter because frankly as an avid fan of Interweb drama I'm looking forward to the many lulz provided by your poor choices, the eyes of teh internets are upon you

Sincerely"



I'm a little hot headed right now and would like a second opinion
