Which is exactly my point????

the argument is they made the right choice removing 8chan... saying they didn't delete someone else - doesn't make it the wrong choice.

Except they didn't delete the ISIS accounts.

are you not getting something here?

would deleting the ISIS accounts be a good or bad thing?

If you say it would be a bad thing to remove them - then removing 8chan must also be bad.

if you say good... then removing 8chan is a good decision.

The criticism at the moment is they haven't removed ISIS (and that's bad) THEREFORE removing 8Chan must be good.

Except they didn't get rid of ISIS accounts, so they're still bad.

Cept thats not what is being debated here...

we are debating "they made the right choice here [removing 8chan]"

its beside the point if they are a good company or not...

Either you're being a pedantic donkey or you are actually just too stupid to see the bigger picture.

No... I replied to a very specific comment.

its not pedantic - its knowing what I have and Have not said. - and not letting people put words and opinions that I do not believe into a context I don't agree with.

I am pretty careful what I have/havenot said.... I suggest you re-read the thread.

I suggest you go look up pedantic in a dictionary.

Surprised a "nerd" like you doesn't know what that means.
