Why Epik welcomed Gab.com
This post will summarize why Epik welcomed Gab.com. It will also address why I believe the operators of the site have the right to be online.
epik.com

So, who the heck is Epik? Never heard of them.

After GoDaddy cut ties following Pittsburgh shooting, Gab back online thanks to Seattle startup
A Seattle startup has inked a deal to host domain registrar services for Gab.com, the site that was dropped by GoDaddy and other companies in the wake of the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting.

Let Freedom Ring

To the casual observer, the case of Gab.com seems like it is something new. It is not. It is history repeating itself. While there are consequences to actions, there is also the proverbial risk of throwing out the baby with the bathwater. My hope, for all of our sakes, is that Gab.com treads wisely, using its liberty for the betterment of most, and the enlightenment of all.

Sincerely,
Robert W. Monster
Founder and CEO

Maybe it's my browser configuration, but gab.ai doesn't seem to be working, completely. But, they haven't gone away. The pages that load are filled with bitterness, and maybe even some hate speech, if you're into that sort of vilification. Still don't know diddly about Robert Monster, but maybe he's a "good guy".

    It's a way for the rest of us to contain the virus by putting all of the infected in one place. This makes it easier to snuff out.

    I am OK with racist scumbags, incels, MRAs, gamergaters and outright Nazis to have a little clubhouse where they can do their thing. It makes watching them a lot easier. Now, whenever there's a school or synagogue shooting, or pipe bombs are sent or whatever, we know where to look for the perpetrator.

    If you had to place MRA and racists in same sentence then you should place feminists in between, right next to racists. I have consistently found feminists to be the biggest racists. It is like they need to look like good people because they are aweful abusive shit heads and they know it.

    EXACTLY! Fuck, the main reason what this idiot in Pennsylvania did rankles me is because he just blew a perfectly good opportunity to let these idiots concentrate in a known, accessible place where their every move could be tracked and their stupid fucking plans could be stopped before they even start. Someone give that man a pair of wings, a tutu, and a wand with a star on it and call him the Fuckup Fairy.
