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.

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

Fuck 'em.

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!
