What makes it unethical?

Why should I be treated differently than search engine spiders?

Teach your students to ensure there’s a delay between requests so they aren’t hammering anyone’s server, and follow the rules in the robots.txt. I’ve scraped more than a billion pages without any issues.

I rematch with people all the time. I literally rematched with someone in my last game just a second ago playing 10/0. Are you the sort who refuses to resign even when you have a hopeless material disadvantage?

That’s not at all why this is a big deal. Sessions recused himself from overseeing the special counsel. Rod Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general, has been conducting honest and principled oversight to the dismay of republicans. Now that Sessions is gone, Trump can appoint a sycophant to undermine the investigation. This is terrible news for our democracy and the rule of law.

Isn’t that sort of debate pretty common when it comes to history books? The entire point of the book was to write about history from the point of view of those who “lost.” Of course it’s biased in that respect, and it was on purpose.

I read that, and it isn’t exactly a scathing critique. He appears to recognize at least some value in it.

Do you by chance consider yourself a conservative?

I googled around a bit, and it appears that most of the criticism comes from those on the right who aren’t a fan of the narrative.
