More on the Heaven Nose/Trainwrecks Blogwar

I felt it was such an interesting story that I wrote a follow-up post here (with a few more links).

Great find
, Ragnar.

Kind of creepy, and even more so that it is hard to figure out exactly what happened now that Google's cache archives have been scrubbed of Trainwrecks' content along with most of the related thread wars at both sites.

Heaven Nose, I might note, is still standing.

1 I saw at the Heaven Nose site that they still have their e-mail up. Maybe if you wrote them a list of questions, they might answer them for you.I know ofother people that have conversed with them in this way and an exclusive on the subject featured by your site would be awesome! I also think that there is more to this story and do not trust the sources that have written about it so far. Yours is the most objective post about it that I have come across.

2 I wish I'd got the chance to see trainwrecks.


I'm sorry I did see the nose job. Truly amateur and sophomoric.

3 For all their pompous, self-congratulatory rhetoric, the fine folks at Heaven Knows seem not to accept comments - which makes them cowards, at best. As for directly interfering with the daily lives of those they disagree with - that's koranimal territory, and should not be encouraged amongst rational beings.
 

Fuck 'em.

4 Actually, the removed the comments because said personal info about TW was scattered throughout them.

So the incident caused the removal of the comments. HN still wins, since they didn't shut down the entire site like TW did.

They 'won'? Perhaps, in their petty little pissing contest. I'm not sticking up for Trainwrecks in particular - never read it, probably wouldn't want to - but these hardball, bully-boy tactics don't do a lot to promote freedom of speech on the web.



Their 'win' represents a loss for anyone who thinks that the 'net should be the last bastion of truly free speech. And so, I repeat - fuck 'em.

"Their 'win' represents a loss for anyone who thinks that the 'net should be the last bastion of truly free speech. And so, I repeat - fuck 'em."


So sayeth Joe Public, and I think based on what I saw of their own chest thumping antics, I'd be agreeing with Joe. Fuck 'Trainwreck' also, for abusing their free speech to cause pain! But let's not forget how wrong the kind of attack against them was!


Another point, I do not know where the new technology will be taking real warfare, and we do have Jihadist recruiting going on over the internet. I don't for a minute beleieve Joe Public thinks that stuff is OK, free speech or not. I'm just trying to point out the relevance to this as it affects the GWOT.  I don't think enemy propaganda counts as free speech, nor do I think they much care for our own propagandizing.


THERE WILL BE TROUBLE!


We have seen a glimpse of what may come. It will not just affect people like me, who use our real names, as we can see from the article. We had what? Seven Million hits? How many are Jihadists, or future Jihadists?  This 'trainwreck' wasn't anything. Nobody had their kid snatched, or their car bombed, or got sniped at, or shot in a drive-by. Time for my St John's Wort 


I think we should count this as another 'ding' in the alarm clock!


USA, all the way!
