historically, right? This is a well-established fact, no? It says it
pretty much everywhere.
Jimbo himself admits that Bomis deals in porn (although it accounts
for less than 10% of their revenue).
Thus, I don't see where he gets the idea that the things people are
saying are wrong. And why did he just say "you're wrong" instead of
explaining, even after Ant asked him for an explanation? He has sent
me increasingly rude private e-mails as well rather than discuss it
calmly on the list.
One needs to make a distinction between the historical past and its
consequences.
I have no personal knowledge of the underlying facts, but for the sake
of argument I'm willing to accept that what you say is all true. It
then comes down to a matter of "So what?"
At the rate you're going we shouldn't be recognizing Australia as a
country because it was established by convicts.
