Hmm... I just got a PM warning me not to waste my time here. It backfired. Oh well...
So you admit to "
trolling", and
preaching. We already figured that out ourselves.
Parting ways? Nah, you'll be back...
I watch TED (and also the MIT lecture series, and similar media). I don't see your brand of "hellfire and brimstone political media" consumption in my future. Too far from the bare metal...
Do you rant like this about Microsoft or Facebook? I should think their brand of "social evils" would bend you out of shape way beyond the alleged shenanigans of Amazon, in their own little Kindle sandbox. To each his own.
EDIT: I was just notified by a moderator that there are some "rules" I violated in this post by highlighting portions of quoted text with my own selected colors, and by not including square brackets around ellipses that replace deleted text. I will now add those brackets around all the (non-quoted) "...", and mention HERE that the bolding and coloration are MINE (as a color-coded intuitive linkage between a portion of the quote and that relevant portion of my reply), not the original author's. I have done this often in the past, here and in other forums. Apparently no longer acceptable (i.e. first warning ever, today). Sorry...
