Isn't it just slightly eccentric to be using free debate in a social networking environment to prove that free debate doesn't happen in social networking environments?

I agree there's an issue with consumer authoritarianism, especially among the various toxic marketingisms that exist - which would be most of them. Especially those by happy-think scamologists like Godin, and his merry flock of aspirational squidites.

But it's quite a stretch to suggest that Twitter and Wordpress are tools of oppression and WE SHOULD BE AFRAID.

Especially, you know, on a blog with comments, and all.
