Although the lawsuit is bullshit, I would probably be really happy if the oatmeal were to get sued out of existence.

I try to stay away from it as much as possible, but of the handful of things I've seen there, they were all trollish and entirely incorrect.

The site is just more Internet scum and it going away would probably be for the best.

Um. Seriously? A unique individual with one of the most brilliant, funny, audacious and original voices on the Internet and you'd like to see him sued out of existence? Because uh ... the Internet's not big enough or what? Wow. Just wow.

It's always good when one extreme viewpoint is countered with another extreme viewpoint in the opposite direction.

So in your world; wanting someone to be sued to the point that they go completely out of business and can never open again is one side and "I really enjoy the product" is the complete opposite side of the spectrum?
Isn't that just bigotry?
I've always called it 'wearing blinders'.
I'm confused - was the sarcasm in my post not clear?
I think that your post was horribly unclear. What are The Oatmeal's purported extreme views? And what are FunnyJunk's views here other than "We want your money"?
Unresolved anger issues much? Hint: the internet is big. If you don't like something, ignore it.
A Thomas Edison fan enraged? Maybe this is how it manifests?
Kind of difficult to ignore being litigated. Kinda stupid too.
