We may be pessimists, but we are prepared to give an account of our hope. We may be skeptics, but we are ever faithful. We may look down with sorrow on the human condition--but this sorrow begets charity. We are heralds of the dusk, but like watchmen we await the new dawn.
Contra Mozilla
[close]
Firefox users we wanted to take this space to let you know what Mozilla, the company that makes Firefox has been doing, and it's not good. Mozilla recently forced its CEO to resign because he had, 6 years ago, donated $1,000 to a pro-family political group. Apparently Mozilla is intolerant of anyone that disagrees with their Liberal/progressive view of politics. To read more please visit WhyFirefoxIsBlocked.com. We aren't blocking Firefox, but we feel it is important to let you know what's going on. For those who are curious, the reason why we are not blocking firefox is that the script to do so also blocks a variety of firefox alternatives, such as IceDragon and others which are similar to firefox and based on the same open-source code. We do think it is important to push back on this issue: for starters, you can leave firefox a comment here. You can also switch to another browser: here are six more free browsers (besides IceDragon) which are supposed to be similar to FireFox (because they are based on the same open-source code) but which are not otherwise affiliated with Mozilla.

Counter-Trolling
The other guy has already linked to this column on Ignitum Today, and also to the column's first commenter (a fairly obvious troll). I want to throw out that it's been really amusing to watch the counter-trolling against said commenter, who isn't so much interested in commenting as in trolling the columnists and any commenter who agree with them, or who disagree without dissenting. A lot of it isn't really high-quality trolling (one of the chief players has a name which suggests "troll" and a profile picture of what I assume is a troll, maybe from a video game or something?). Still, amusing stuff. That particular commenter deserves all the trolling that he gets.
