Can you say "overreaction"? Or do you actually think that someone banning you for being a tool is morally equivalent to murdering millions of people? You suck at life. LMFAO

Some of his previous posts elsewhere have been deleted for reasons varying from abuse, to threats, to unreasonable and incorrect accusations.

My publisher - who will probably read this - is trying to push the decision to tomorrow (Wed) morning. I strongly suspect because he has grown attached to the "One domain, two men..." line and doesn't want it undermined by, er, public opinion. I'm thinking just kill "dubious" and you have a fairly tight tag. Will sleep on it. I'm hoping inspiration will come... How are you anyway Graham? I've been insanely busy - been following you through Twitter postings arriving on my mobile. Kieren I’m following your thinking here Graham.

You're banned. Although you won't be able to read this since I have blocked your IP address. I just don't understand why people think they can be rude, offensive, invade your space and then expect you to be nothing but pleasant back. Kieren Randy,

The last one "The $65 million battle for the most valuable word of the Internet age" It gives us the core fact without the detail or the drama of the first one "One domain, Two Men, Twelve Years and the $65 million battle for the Dubious Jewel in the Internet’s Crown." I think the winner is a hybrid of these two sans 'dubious'. One domain, Two Men, Twelve Years and the $65 million battle for the most valuable word of the Internet age Hmmm? Now if you changed that to "One domain, Two Men, Twelve Years and the $65 million battle for the world's most valuable word" Would it be factually wrong? Most valuable 'word' lacks punch. Maybe hottest property could nail all that. Lose the 12 years - could sound like a bit of a drag - keep the two men. Lose the domain? The domain clue's in the title already. "Two men and the brutal $65 million battle for the internet's hottest property" Hmmm. Dunno. You could use murder and sleaze in there somewhere too.... Sorry, rambling a bit here. Thinking out loud. Whatever, Brutal = good. Dubious = bad. Gaaahhh. tough. The last one
