Rep King, who is the author of the legislation thinks this has been misapplied.

One would think they would have figured that out before they put it to the public. Nobody reads the articles before that happens?

Mistakes happen.  I have seen some whoppers in my life.  Compound errors result in liabilities, security issues... even death.

Does that really seem like an error? Not to me. It was deliberately put in, there was no way this was a mistake of any kind. It was 100% on purpose.

Absolutely it does.  Have you ever worked with a corporate legal department ?  The **** that goes on, you wouldn't believe.  Given that this is government, and it had to be done quickly I am 0% surprised.

I do not believe for a moment this was accidental and no one noticed it until it went live. Who put it in there, and who missed it when proof reading, and who signed off on releasing the form?

That legal department needs to be fired.

Government legal department.  Good luck firing them.  You know how that would happen?  They would have to consult other government lawyers first.

With some respect, I will tiptoe around an assertion here that you ARE in fact... Let's say... Conspiracy minded?

Let's leave it at that.

Conspiracy minded?  Thanks for the insult.

How many people did this slip by in order to be up on the website? Use your brain.

Who wrote it?
Who approved it?
Who read it?

Hey, man I TRIED to tiptoe.  I recall discussions with you about 9/11, I think, so the tag is apt.

Typically 1 person will be in charge of putting together the content, and it's not unusual for the same person to do the quality check.  I have worked on US sites with huge regulatory requirements and huge errors slipped through regularly.

Then those people suck at what they do. Or there is not enough Q.A.

However, go **** up a rope, fence sitter.  I was not going to bust your balls. Because you asked me not to.  But I am breaking out my steel toe boots just for you.  I shall only tell you to **** off once. Got it?

No, I don't got it.

Whatever. 

Anyway, yes, people are bad at their jobs sometimes.

I was nice. I give what I get. I did not tolerate that on the other site, I won't tolerate it here either.

Is that why you're angling to get kicked off the other site?

If someone BELIEVES in conspiracies, how is it an insult to say that they are conspiracy minded??
