Please send my sincere apologies to your children.

What you don't realize is that the solution you suggest won't work if famous people like TBL publicly support DRM.

People wouldn't care about your opinions much, some would even call them dumb just like you call others opinions dumb. But when a respectable person like TBL says something people tend to take his words seriously.

This is why people were worried about what TBL did. A very few would have cared if you or I did such a thing.

Haha first of all. Let me apologize to you. And I truly admire how you took it very lightly as oppose to the reactions I got from some police officers (Not the nice human beings who kindly explained things) here in HN.

And I think I owe you an explanation of what happened.

1) I read your super awesome story. (nerdgasm).

2) Upvotes instantly but fuck this is some really good storytelling so just adding an upvote without a smart comment on your achievement would be almost rude!

3) Adds a pun intended "holy crap" (It's TBL people, if that ain't holy crap I don't know what it is!)

4) Genuinely wanting to congratulate you, ends my "smart" comment with a "Congratulations man!".

5) Realizes that I just "assumed" you were a gentleman, which I (we, most people) do a little too much.

6) Knowing I would have gotten away with calling you "man" without looking rude for assuming you were a gentleman, decides if I should do it the other way. (Story of my life)

7) Does it and the rest, as they say, is history.

Thanks,

I agree with both your points, completely. Thank you very much!

Thank you very much! in that case I'd be ok with the down votes. But the first reply I got here from someone I assume who is in charge of HN was "OP is a man" so I can't help but wonder what's really going on in the minds of these down voters.

Yes, I'm very sorry for not being an expert in foreign names HN. Thank you.
