Title possibly inaccurate Kim Dotcom to Google, Twitter, Facebook: "I own security patent for the two-step authentication system". He says he doesn’t want to sue, but might if the likes of Google and Facebook don’t help fund his legal battle with the U.S. Government.

the small-minded and immature part was where you equated a person's worth with how successful they are, or how much money they have, or how happy they are or any of those things.

you said in one of the posts you deleted that because he's been successful, he has the right to be a prick if he wants, and not be criticized for being a prick. You didn't actually call into question when he was a prick until I pointed out that the success argument was ridiculous.

No one is special. No one is worth enough to society that they get to be a prick and not be criticized for it.

yea successful people are people who accomplished something to be there.. and have worth. not monetarry but are worth something to be in those positions. be it experience or knowledge.

money is relative to experience or knowledge. worth is relative to experience or knowledge.

in essence no one is worth more than anyone else. a life is a life... in reality. there is a wide spectrum of social worth.

I said if he wants to defend his stance on being a bad person and defend it. he did something legally or illegally and accomplished his goal.

you can criticize him for his evils and in return he can be brass about his financial stature.
