Oh, and I'm sorry you missed the import of my reference to "Tank Man" (now who lacks an ear for nuance). He didn't have a tank; he was resisting the one being driven by a repressive regime, which, by analogy to this case, would be the SCC, to whose figurative tank I was offering resistance.

If you haven't already been served with a subpoena have your IT people go through your database and change all the screen names to "Disputatious Buttinsky".

And I don't mean to come on too strong.
Posted by Jackson Baker]]> Wed, 01 Aug 2012 09:18:00 -0500 Memphis Flyer When I first read Jackson Baker's comment I thought "disputatious buttinsky" was some sort of Yiddish epithet, but after extensive research I find it just means someone that likes to argue a lot. Since that describes almost everyone that posts on these boards you probably shouldn't get too puffed up over your new title.

If the Flyer is served a subpoena, the folks who will deserve to be treated like "bridge-burning fools" are the Shelby County Commission, 'cause they will still need that bridge.

"Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?"

Because the SCC has decided in its infinite wisdom that McCarthyism is OK as long as the target is racists instead of communists, I fully expect a moment like this is on the horizon.

That is good to hear.

I am not suprised that the Flyer is made of sterner stuff than the CA, whose wishy-washy editorial on this subject was in the best Tevye tradition: We have principles important to us!

Posted by Drift Boat]]> Tue, 31 Jul 2012 15:52:31 -0500 Memphis Flyer Without getting into a long on-line discussion of the law I will recommend that you go to the CA articles about the subpoena and find the post re the Idaho case. Sorry, I don't have the link now but I'm sure it's still there, and probably among the first 200 posts, I quit reading after that.
