First they bend over for the lawyers.
Then they remove useful information -- which after a shitstorm of complaint, and the development of a third party workaround, they grudgingly added back in a half-assed implementation that wastes screenspace. All while mouthing platitudes about how "some people are never satisfied", "some people will complain about anything", and "everyone's preferences are different" (talk about failing to see the point).
Then they change the simple, unobtrusive "user is typing" indicator to an obnoxious text spam. In your face, in your way.
And most recently, in a yet-again example of "my way or the highway", they determine that you, the user, have no real need to resize your text entry area, just an irrational "preference" that in their opinion, you have no real "need" for. After the expected outbreak of butthurt, the final straw tipping point is reached, and a response given:
Also: Double middle finger to these twats for trying to erase history. Deleting the older source and packages? Stupid, stupid rat creatures. It only makes you look worse.
PS: Even before the name change, the writing was on the wall.
Screw it. I'm going back to Bitlbee.

Legally known as "Cece".
Remember four years ago -- just like now, right around Christmas -- when you assaulted my wife from behind, as she was walking away? Then whined and lied through your teeth about how you felt "threatened" and you were "defending yourself"? And she lost her job, while you got to keep yours?
Yeah. I remember, too.
Unlike my wife, I'm not a nice person. She'll smile and swallow your shit until the end of time, just to avoid rocking the boat. But when someone pisses on me, I don't call it rain.
And I heard all about your latest trick. How Kim -- out of the goodness of her heart, and despite the fact that she was sick -- volunteered to help her mother organize and set up the post office Christmas dinner. How everyone was so glad to see her, most of them having known her since she was a kid. But you -- who don't even bother to attend these social events in the workplace -- the second you found out Kim was there, you went straight to the manager that doesn't like her mom, who told her she had to leave. In the middle of a snowstorm. And find her own ride home.
It must have really chapped your ass when someone gave her a ride, and refused to punch out to do it.
That you have the audacity to proclaim yourself a Christian woman is beyond laughable -- it beggars the imagination that the heavens don't open at such a statement and rain bolts of lightning upon you. You are no Christian. You are a coward, a liar, and a shitheel; a pustulent sore on the anus of the human race.
You are beneath contempt. You have no class, and you have no soul.
I'm sure the moment you read this, you'll go whining to someone about how it makes you feel "threatened". Rest assured -- I wouldn't sully the back of my hand with your ugly face. Hell, I wouldn't piss down your throat if you were dying of thirst. And a restraining order against me would be extremely amusing, considering that I never want to be within a country mile of someone so utterly vile and reprehensible as you.
But you've fucked with the woman I love for the last time, and I put you on notice: You will reap the consequences of your actions. That's not a threat -- it's a promise. Because it doesn't take a Nostradamus to see that someday, you'll fuck with someone who doesn't have my sense of self-restraint. Someone who doesn't consider you beneath their contempt, who will give you precisely what you deserve.
You want to try me? Bring it on. I'm not afraid of you, or your lies.
Because they're all you've got.
Rot in hell, fuck off, and die.

Confirmed by anecdote
By far the most disgusting individual -- thank God I have never met him but boat crews do talk and I have had the lousy luck to be anchored next to him on the Riviera -- is Larry Ellison of Oracle fame, an unpleasant sociopath who has found the only sport where you can become a hero while others do the competing, the America's Cup. Unlike Ted Turner who won the Cup back in the early eighties by skippering his boat, Ellison is on board as ballast.

More on the growing raw milk crackdown. As seen on FreeRepublic:
Silly Freeper. Amish don't vote. So from a political perspective, nobody
cares what they think.
(And to think there are people who believe this problem could be solved, if the
farmers, co-ops and milk drinkers were to engage in some elaborate charade of not
actually "buying" and "selling" milk, but forming the pretext of "cow shares" where
the milk drinkers are merely paying farmers to keep the cow on their property... No, it's all rubbish, and anyone with any sense or knowledge of history
already knows why.. If government officials can get away with claiming that a farmer growing wheat on his own property, to feed his own animals, is "interstate commerce"; then anything and everything, including the infamous ham sandwich, can be declared such.)
The power to destroy
Apparently the Feds are not afraid of upsetting the Amish street. Wonder how
this would play out if they were Muslims?

Roger von Bakel takes Jim Henley to task:
Should we be OK with that, with any of that, or even just turn a blind eye to
it? Should we consult the chapter in our Political Correctness Handbook which
teaches that all cultures are morally equivalent, then acquiesce and nod
politely because within those countries' cultural and legal frameworks,
legalized brutality is par for the course?
Because sometimes, the horses NEED to be frightened
Stoning adulterers is not justice in any third-millennium, human sense of the
word. Honor killings of young women (with the authorities looking the other
way) don't amount to justice either. Nor do the executions of gay people; the
clitorectomies performed on writhing, screaming young girls; the insistence
that women must not drive cars and may not wear anything other than a burqa in
public; the state-sanctioned persecutions of former Muslims who've converted to
Christianity; the crackdown on dissent in places like Egypt and Algeria, where
bloggers and journalists face police beatings and jail time if they don't toe
the Islamic line. And on and on...

Not once since I gave up tobacco have I felt the craving for nicotine, or even
the physical act of smoking. But every time I see one of these bullshit re-educationist
anti-smoking commercials the government forced the tobacco industry to "produce" (the
most ironic possible word in this context), I want nothing more than to run out and
light up a whole carton at once.
By the same token, other than a few lights and decorations in the living room, we don't
make a big deal out of Christmas. But then I read Your Lawn Looked Stupid This Year. Not a word about however much poor taste the author's opinion of you may be,
even if you're "white trash" you still have the right to go to hell in your own
handbasket, and I think, what the hell business is it of this buffoon what
I choose to do with my goddamn property and just what the hell is this
crap doing in a "libertarian" publication anyway?
I close with an email to the author:
"You can protect your delicate sensibilities by turning the fuck away."
Merry Christmas anyway.

Instead, he chose to suck the Republican cock, and now he wants to whine about

The Scourge of Raw Milk
What's behind these crackdowns by major states against producers of raw milk? I
suspect it's a combination of two forces at work.
First, there's the simple matter of growing demand from consumers seeking food
with as little processing as possible, who want to buy it from local farm
producers (see BusinessWeek.com, 10/16/06,
"The Organic Myth"). Organic
Pastures has seen its revenues climb 35% to 40% annually since it switched to
selling raw milk in 2000. Similarly, the Family Farms Co-op has grown from
nothing to nearly 1,000 members over the last four years.
Second, as raw milk and organic milk (milk which is pasteurized, but obtained
from cows fed organic feed, with no hormones) become more popular, large
dairies are becoming concerned and exerting pressure on agriculture officials
to crack down on the raw-milk producers. Just take a look at the Web site
milkismilk.com to get a sense of the conventional dairies' concern.

Love Borat or hate him, this is probably the funniest ironic reaction yet. From the Romanian village of Glod, where the opening and closing scenes were filmed:
Give me your tears, gypsy. Or I will take them!
And Salon's got the scoop on What's Real In 'Borat'. According to semi-official statistics, police were called ninety-one times during filming.
Honestly, I have to love any movie that includes credits like "Naked Fight Coordinator". Not to mention "Mr Baron Cohen's feces provided by".
Glorious
...when local vice-mayor Petre Buzea was asked whether the people felt offended by Baron Cohen's film, he replied: "They got paid so I am sure they are happy. These gipsies will even kill their own father for money."
