The problem with written expression instead of oral expression is the lack of inflection. Your words imply that you are suggesting that those who support the right to publish this book should be actively seeking to get Apple to carry it on iBooks. Your words:
Quote:
Have you contacted Apple to suggest that THEY might want to trumpet free speech and start selling it?
Hello, is there anyone there?
Didn't think so.

imply as much. And while I now understand the smiley face to imply that you intended it as a joke about Apple, upon first reading, the smiley face implies, taken with the rest of the text that you are laughing at those who support the First Amendment, as if we are stupid for supporting the rights of someone who is admittedly not the sort of person most people would want to support. Again, as I said, inflection is not available when you write something, so it's easier to misinterpret someone's meaning. Given your intentions, I withdraw my complaint.
