It has nothing to do with balls, that just seems to be the impression.
It's morally ambiguous, hard to define, and not black and white. That doesn't change the fact that knowing what lurks in the site makes my ####ing skin crawl.
Just out of curiosity since I'm actually getting feedback and all, how many people have read the link I posted to Gawker?

I've read it and many other stories on the underbelly of the internet. I've also read stories about the underbelly of a lot of other things that take place in the world. The fact that something I do could be tangentially tied to them (with the use of some pretty serious leaps) doesn't bother me for the simple fact that the alternative I choose could likely be tied to some other dark underbelly if you tried hard enough.
I think you greatly overstate the role of reddit in advancing the things you disagree with, particularly with the financing of them.
