Back Again
I took a couple of weeks off from writing to take care of a few other things, but I couldn't stay away forever - there's always some luncacy that has to be written about. The latest comes from one of my favorites - the American Homeowner's Resource Center (AHRC). This is the largest of the "rant" sites (a "rant" site is one that gives people with problems a place to vent, then pours gas on the fire rather than trying to solve the problem).
It seems that the owners of the site lost a court battle and the domain for AHRC was awarded to the winning party. However, you'll never find that little bit of truth anywhere on their site. Instead, they've got their stable of writers all worked up that its a conspiracy to deny themm their First Amendment rights. There is no mention that the owners of AHRC so abused the court system that they are barred from filing any suits, motions or just about anything else without first receiving the approval of the presiding judge of the court. It was their actions in the courts that caused the costs to skyrocket, and when they lost, they lost most of their assets, including the domain.
Shutting down the site won't stop the ranters. They've already begun copying their diatribes to other sites. Shutting down AHRC won't stop the die-hards that rearely listen to anytning other than their own voices (or the little voices in their heads), but it may be a positive factor for those owners who are simply trying to find help with their issues. They may find other places that might actually help.
o those AHRC supporters - its not a conspiracy, its not about the First Amendment - its about using words as weapons, and claims you can't support - and its about blaming your own stupidity on everyone but yourself.
