   I just adore how the techbro media has started using "activist investor" in the same way christian fascists used to complain about "activist judges" (though they don't seem to be so incensed about judges ruled by *some* bullshit ideologies).

   The important thing here is that "activist" be associated with "bad people who want to ruin things".

   Call them what they are, @mmasnick - capitalists.

     @jpaskaruk not pissed. just curious.

     Anyway, if I were satisfied with what the modern internet has become why do I spend all my time trying to push it in a different direction?

     @mmasnick

     Before you get too pissed, there's still the respect of calling you "media" in there. You're one of my daily reads.

     But if you really care that much about this random opinion, you seem to have a fairly rosey view of the modern internet and what it has become, imo, with too much assumption that this is the only way it could have gone or should have gone.

     Yes, 230 is fundamental to everything, and maybe that is not the self-evident win that you and Jack think it is. Look around.
