Rogers has a history of cybersquatting. He registered the domain name benedictxvi.com and tried, apparently in jest, to extort from the Catholic Church. When that failed, he supposed donated the name to charity, although the website is still registered to him so I’d say someone needs to look into this transaction.

Wait, RCade was extorting money from the Catholic Church? How high did the bidding go? What would his saintly grandmother think?

This hardly seems like a life-ruining exposé for the founder of Firedoglake, and RCade isn't getting his teeth slapped out of his mouth by a serious bitchslap fest.  The only halfway decent slap was the charge that he is cybersquatting on worthless domain names such as benedictxvi.com (and cruel.com!).

Seriouslly. There was nary a mention of Rcades more serious past transgressions. 

"Free the Bound Archives!!!!"

When I run for Congress, I will be disappointed if the former Cruel.Com regulars do not come forward to derail my candidacy with the time I was caught with the M&M Mini Tube in a compromising position.

Nope. Never had any dealings with her until deciding it would be interesting to see if she likes transparency. We're major BFFs now I'm thinking.

My God, we'd pollute the Internet with tales of horror and depravity (both true and invented).  We'd probably have an outrageous-rumor contest.

And then, of course, we'd all vote for you.

Well, maybe not in a primary.....
