How is it you needed to spend money on a law degree to make that statement?

Sure, it's a valuable resource. But it shouldn't come with blind devotion to the provider.

Anyway, as I said before, the comparison to Imus was only made to show that you should never justify the wrongdoings of someone or a company based on other good deeds. Again, Imus gave to charity. Very good. But it doesn't mean he gets to be who he is. There's no "balance out" clause here. Same with Cpap.com. Just because they provide a message board doesn't mean they're free of criticism. Again, just making a point about justifying one's behavior based on a few or one good deed. I'm in no way saying that overcharging for old software is the same as calling some girls what Imus called them.

That's what I meant when I said I wasn't comparing the situations. There's a difference between using one as an example to explain the situation and equalizing both.

By the way. Throwing out that you have a law degree just to say you have one is hilarious. It's a message board man. If, by chance, your knowledge of law was used to further your argument, it'd be one thing. But you just threw it out there. "Let's put my law degree to work." As if we needed a lawyer to to serve us with paperwork telling us we're guests here. You know, I can drop what I believe to be an impressive career as well. At 6pm tonight, I'm gonna drive to Bristol and serve as the associate director of the #1 rated show on cable television tonight.(That's, Sportscenter for those who are unaware) SEE!

Oh...by the way, your previous post said you weren't comparing this situation to the imus situation, now you concede the comparison is made.
Fine, I used the word comparison. You win, Johnny Cochrane.

Still, society's "look away" behavior towards Imus is the same type of attitude some people on this board display towards cpap.com.

BTW-did I mention I love cpap.com?

I stayed at a Motel 6 once and they left the lights on for me ... that was impressive.
