It makes perfect sense. Doodles are usually for a day, so taking up the entire usual Doodle space for an entire month eliminates the possibility of any other doodles from being put up. However, a daily doodle would be inappropriate as it's a Gay Pride Month, not day. Thus, the eloquent solution is to accomodate…

J'accuse!

Yeah, I made an addendum to my post after I did some looking up and I think it is a straight up misattribution, because Dali, if anything, came up through the dangerous period where Futurism spurred on Fascism and post-WWII was totally disavowed.

Just a minor editorial quibble: while it's technically correct to call it *a* Futurist Manifesto, that's not the commonest name, given the best known Futurist Manifesto is the 1909 tract by Marinetti in Italy which spurred the rise of not just futurism and Italy's cultural rejuvenation but also Italian fascism. It…

You'd probably have to check in to get the discount, I'd imagine, but you're right in that if that's the case it's a glaring omission.

Nope, what you can do is actually put in some effort and read it if you're that curious. If it's just a pissing match to you why are you even interested?

Their loss is benign in a macrocosmic sense of a higher order of economy; in terms of the intenational economy, 4200 jobs being shed is a small scratch, not a bullet hole like taking the Nikkei down for 9 hours when the NYSE is closed would be.

No, they don't deserve it. I never said that. But they are benign targets who are not going to affect anything broadly like the stock market with their outages. If anything, they should be far angrier at the absence of an offsite backup and adequate security.

I can't, I told you already if you want certitude you need to talk to the commenter we've been discussing but based on my extensive knowledge of rhetoric he is engaging in a correlative argument that is not personally insulting.

What question is that? "Why is it there?" Because the composition of arguments is an imperfect process.

And thankfully your government will make sure this cannot happen again over the next 50 years by circumventing these strategies.

As a critique of Internet commentary. I have explained at length why it is not an insult but a critique. What do you not specifically agree with regarding my assessment?

Because he wants to qualify that your behavior is a typification of Internet commentary.

Which ha a more significant impact though? Morally dubious as it is, the direct approach resonates more with the public and thus gets greater results.

Because the composition of arguments is never perfect? Want me to go through your statements and trim the fat, and find statements I could find offensive? I could do the same with you, me, him, anyone. There are lots of things we say that are superfluous, but that doesn't mean they're sinister.

You know, this illustrates I'm okay with LulzSec. They are disrupting services and compromising personal data, yes, but they are far more benign, i.e. peoples entertainment accounts, then a foreign state would be with the data they are after. LulzSec and this hacker are forerunners of an endemic threat that has…

Holy shit, do you not read my reactions? Here's my earlier comment which addresses this:

Because it's a critique, and critiques are different from insults. A critique means he typifies your behavior with other commenters on the Internet and further identifies why that's true.

.... I've spent a solid hour of back and forth concretely telling you how it is correlative, not causative and thus how it is not qualified to be an ad hominem attack. What else would you like? His phrasing does not indicate ad hominem, nor does any other part of his statement. He clearly states that typically, not…
