Right. So a company with 750 employees should be run at discount rates by someone sitting in a bathrobe in their kitchen .

What’s wrong with paying market rates for a CEO?

Do you think they should find a CEO below market rates?

Have you donated money to Mozilla or Wikipedia?

Before you attack Mozilla….. are you using it as your primary browser? I.e are you supporting them already?

Do you believe Mozilla should be able to pay its bills? If you’re not happy with this way of raising revenue, what else do you suggest?

I love Shatner… interesting guy. And I’m not even a Trekkie.

90 is a great age to go. Long life fulfilled. If something goes wrong, well maybe it’s a fitting end.

If everything works out, we’ll that’s a fabulous thing for Captain Kirk to do.

Presumably Jeff said he’d go for free.

Of course this is flagged.

The mob has arrived.

A social movement has to form, one that rejects the faceless internet mob, and recognizes only people who exist here and now, physically in the present.

It needs a name. Movements only catch on when they have the right name that instantly conveys the message.

The only solution to this sort of thing is if institutions only accept formal, in person complaints from members of that institution.

To do this they’d have to specifically recognize the problem of mob cancellation and decide to listen only to their own members.

What people haven’t grasped yet is you can’t fight the mob.

There’s no recourse, no appeal, no tribunal, no council of wise learned people you can go to when the mob sets out to destroy you.

You’re just simply fucked and have to accept you’ve been cancelled, your reputation is ruined and you’re “out”.

That’s all there is to it and no-one has come up with a solution.
