Man, I miss all the fun when I sleep.
Btw--Fox Newsing a topic doesn't mean taking stuff out of context, that's what news media does as a whole (even though removing all the posts inbetween your point changes does not actually change what took place, as all you did was repeatedly try to argue those points and fail). Fox Newsing specifically would be
lying about it. Nobody's lied to you, and all you really did was change your point twice, to something so vague that no one could disagree with it based solely on the letter of the statement. That's not winning an argument or making your point well.
Viacom could have the site removed if they wanted, but not due to the enforcement of any law. They could do it because they have this magical thing called 'clout' and they can intimidate smaller companies into compliance without actually needing to levy any real charges, as putting up a legal battle and winning is still extremely costly and time-consuming, and nobody wants to do it if they can possibly avoid it. (This is why you often see huge companies settling on cases they could've won if they tried.)
If all you can do is say 'well they started it' and start name-calling then perhaps I'd consider saying "I'm sorry for being rude, I still believe my point was valid, have a nice day," and walk away.
