Saving this thread in case anyone ever tries to claim this forum is full of intelligent discussion.

Life pro tip: A 345 million dollar judgment against a company worth less than 10% of that for the crime of maybe telling some protesters to engage in direct action against a company leaking oil into their water supply is not remotely sane, no matter how 'legal' the jury of oil-connected people may say it was.

> maybe telling some protesters to engage in direct action against a company leaking oil into their water supply

Sounds like you put the maybe in the wrong place. The jury found that they did do that. And you have no evidence whatsoever that they leaked any oil into the water supply.

HN hasn't been burdened with intelligent discussion for many years now.

One only needs a cursory scan of the top posts to recognize this; ~80% of discussion revolves around braindead slop peddlers.
