CC, hate speech and heavycola

Hello!
So I was trying to see whether someone could find my bookface page by using what experts call my 'online handle'. I googled 'heavycola' and 'facebook' and, while i couldn't find my fb page, I did
get this result.
It turns out some academic has used an old post of mine as an example of hatred towards disabled people. This is obviously a source of great pride, not just for me I hope but for the whole CC community. Not only is this forum now used as a source of scholarly research, it is also a forum where prejudice and hatred can flourish in true 1st Amendment style. And that surely is down to the moderators and the superb job they do.
More importantly: lawyers, is there any chance of making any money off this dude?

All kinds of awesome going on right there.
On another note, it is great to see the legendary disability-hating heavycola back amongst us.

I'm not reading this entire book - what page is your quote on?
Also, as a lawyer, I don't think there's any way you can make money off of this unless you copyrighted that particular statement somehow. As long as it's credited to you, I think he gets away with it.*

No way. That cannot be genuine. I refuse to believe a person is dense enough to think that what you wrote there is sincere. They've just used it to bolster the position they're arguing, dishonest fucks.

It seems the author of that was trolling, or has no sense of sarcasm. Either way, I laughed heartily.

This made me chuckle. You should contact the fellow and get in touch with them. Haha.

Thought I'd find out if Conquer Club had been referenced elsewhere on google books in academic works.
This was relatively entertaining, though not in the same league as the above:

So, the question is who is Piers Steele?
Oh crap, did I just give away personal information? Am I going to get banned now?

Probably should be me getting banned for providing the link to said information.

Mark Sherry wrote the book that quotes heavycola though...
Both of those books look awful.

I definitely think heavycola has a case. If I were him (which thankfully I'm not with that ugly mustache), I would be on the phone with Jackie Chiles.

I wonder if you could sue this dude for libel. If you go by heavycola in a number of internet circles and you can prove damages, you could sue this dude for besmirching your good internet name.

Or Piers Steele.

Looks like over-senstive knee-jerking to me.
THANKS, heavycola, for sharing!
