kind of funny in a way.

Manning, Snowdon both celebrated whistleblowers.

Demonized by the government.

Sure what the socks did was against the TOS, but which is worse.
What the socks tried to bring into the light?
Or what wished to remain hidden?

Indeed!

Did not know Simon was banished. See, I've been busy doing stuff like eating, pooping, sleeping, etc.

Every year for burning man, I always buy a fresh new set of socks. 26 pairs, two per day that I'm out there. I have enough socks to last me a looooooooooong time without doing laundry... which is nice.

Only a week? I usually go at least a week between logging into the board.
