Hoisting yourself it is, then. How embarrassing this must be for you.
"Here is why you're wrong, in detail."
"Nuh-uh I already won acuz I said so. You are humiliated. Humiliated!"
Meanwhile.
In reality.
This is obviously something people do host. There's a website (with mirrors) at the center of this topic. The website we're on now, and the service it's built on, made some promises about discussing that law-breaking website, and readily hosts some law-breaking content directly.
We're trying to question several intermediate steps in that complex relationship.
You're trying to project an irrational emotional state on someone who's been steering you back toward that as gently as you deserve.
Even if the answer is that we all have to find a new host - or do it ourselves, which is an option - all this railing about the laaaw will have contributed precisely dick. We're familiar, thanks. Some of us are fundamentally opposed to it existing in any form. We reserve the right to ask 'what the hell' when someone invites us onto their rug so they can yank it out from under us. If you find any opinion on that besides trying to essentially degrade a pseudonymous stranger, let me know.
