<Link to eBaum's world removed>

Dearest Nick, while I appreciate your intentions of trying to enrich the forums with alink to something groovy, please keep in mind that ebaum is a thief and a liar and also a racist.

Please see here for more info!

Feel free to find the site of whoever originally created the media that the link directed to and post it here. But ebaum is a jerk and should not be supported in any way. - Mr. Zero

Nick, if you give me the name of the animation or filename or something, I can try to find the original so you can relink it without supporting EBW. <p><hr />

Wow. The song in the flash there is some great propaganda. Reminds me of the Charlie on the MTA campaign song.


[edit]
Oh man, you want true awesome? Go to ebaumsworldtruth.com . It's like..."You're corrupt!" "NO U!" <p>

Yeah, I'm not sure about the association with Datorrents.com (the guy that runs EBWS says they don't actually do anything illegal, but I'm not sure if I buy that), but even so, it doesn't really change the point of the message of the site, or the validity of their evidence. EBT is attacking the man, not the message, essentially. <p><hr />

Which, at least in the U.S., has traditionally been pretty effective. <p><hr /><div style="text-align:center">dictionary.com | encyclopædia dramatica</div></p>

Effective != Valid, though. It's still fallacious. :( <p><hr />

invalid logic != ineffective tactic

People get caught up in the "ONOES BAD MAN!" thing very easily, nevermind valid logic. To be fair, once you start dragging people's emotions (and, sometimes, half-thought-out but tenaciously held morals) into it, evaluating logic becomes beyond many's capabilities. <p><hr /><div style="text-align:center">dictionary.com | encyclopædia dramatica</div></p>

I know that. I'm not saying this counterargument won't be effective at changing people's minds; I'm sure that it would be, in fact. I'm just pointing out that EBWS is saying that EBW is doing bad things, and instead of proving them wrong, EBT is coming up with scandals involving EBWS. Regardless of how generally effective it will be, it's still a fallacious ad hominem, and it speaks to the weakness of the case of the defenders of EBW that they don't actually defend his actions. <p><hr />

Wait, so EBWT is trying to say that EBWS is stupid because Google's Ads link to a torrent website? And therefore, somehow, Ebaum is not such a bad guy after all?

The reason I see Ebaum being a jerkass is because he flat out refuses to remove content when the original creators ask him to remove it.

Sorry for it being newgrounds but this video helps show one view of how this got started.
<p>

"Moreover, when on the following night, much to his dismay, [Caesar] had a dream of raping his own mother, the soothsayers greatly encouraged him by their interpretations of it: namely, that he was destined to conquer the earth" - Suetonius, The Twelve Caesars - Julius Caesar, chapter 7</p>

Forgot to put my name on this one.

I love that music video, but I hate ebaum. How can one man hold so much assholenishism in his body? Well, hopefully he'll die, as all mortals do.

In conclusion, I liked that flash video. <p><div style="text-align:center">

Looks like a broken link, Gus. :(

Edit: Wait, now I see. Silly redundant https!And possibly missing colons. <p><hr />
