Sean Sherlock is currently debating with Tom Murphy (DeVore) and others

My name is URL

There's a live stream here - http://www.ustream.tv/channel/2168027

They're discussing 'SOPA', obviously. It's quite interesting.. I was late tuning in and I think it may be almost finished. It'll most likely be on YouTube when it's done.

It's nearly over. Was watching from 1pm. SS is getting a (justified) boll*cking.

Although he does have a point about the "keyboard warriors".

Great. I'm forced to watch a 30 second ad first.

There's a thread about it on the Politics forum but no, it wasn't advertised.. though it should have been!

Hopefully it's put up on YouTube soon enough. I'm mad that I only caught the last 5 minutes =(

Was watching this from the start, but ironically couldnt find anywhere to post about it on boards.

devore was outstanding, The laugh of it is that sherlock tried to ban Simon Mcgarr from the debate. Looks like he really backed the wrong horse there.

Good outcome though, hes on the record saying hell change anything and everything with enough noise. Measuring that noise is still the problem i guess

Good job Tom. Great debate, only wish it went on longer!

Dustaz

Seriously, is there an existing thread on this anywhere else?

1000 forums and theres no Live Internet Political Debating forum? disgraceful.

AboutTwoFiddy

Should have been an site-wide announcement for this...

All hail DeVore

The sum total of 3 posts in that for the duration of the debate sort of shows the need for a bigger hint.

EDIT : woops .. didn't see the previous post.

Here are some good quotes I got while watching. I must say I am very impressed with DeV

DeVoire - "Because I fight! ... Ask MCD"
Sean Sherlock - "I think the music industry needs a serious kick in the behind"
DeVoire - "That word "first" is a cocked gun at the head of Ireland!"
Sean Sherlock - "I'll keep persevering with this no matter what!"

So you don't post when you don't see anyone else post?

joshrogan

Only watched a bit of it but Sean Sherlock seems to be very fond of the word rhetoric. If he is just going to dismiss it all as rhetoric then what's the point of the debate?

he actually refused to share the stage with him

RedXIV

Hope DeVore ran through him, and nice to see Sean Sherlock backpeddling from refusing to attend if Simon McGarr was attending to thinking it was important Stop SOPA had a voice. Hopefully he'll take the hint sooner rather than later

Watch it (now or later) and you'll see.

"I can show you the slide again if you want?" was one of the many quotes from him. Absolute legend.

18 minutes in if you want to catch DeV giving his point.

I'm sure you can watch the link that was posted earlier. Just watching it through again. Slow day.........

just watched teh first 40 minutes and sherlock just keeps repeating himelf

smash

Sherlock really is a puppet. It's clear that he doesn't really know what he's talking about. And his smug little face deserved to be smacked.

Faolchu

"did you show the alternative SI to the AG"
"she had regard to it"
"thats a no so"

LOL

always presumed devore was a guy in his twenties wearing jeans and a transformers tshirt with a bit of subway mayonnaise rubbed into it. he's actually a busy business man.

splashthecash

I was at this guys and it was really really good...great to see the topic being discussed in an open place like the Trinity Cafe.
Let me say that DeVore kicked serious ass in there, really getting his point across and doing it in a funny and articulate way.
Would have loved to have stayed for the whole thing but had to get back to work....pfftt, work, always getting in the way

But he would still whomp your ass in Quake

Very interesting debate, love Toms Arguments!

Bubblefett

Loving watching this. Sherlock is just being shown up as a spanner. The Journal say they'll do a written round up on it later.
I really suggest anyone who can watch this- it's so worth it. Bravo Tom, you outclassed Sherlock completely.

Finally feel like poeple are fighting for our rights

Good man Tom that's the style. I'll be renewing my subscription and everyone else should chip in a few bob as well.

No, Im saying noone else could find it either. There was more posts on my facebook status during it than on that thread.

I just found it wierd that with Devore doing such an outstanding job at that debate, there was a noticable lack of live comment on it on boards. Probably due to the fact that if its not on AH, then its too hard to find the place to talk about it.

Mr Benevolent

Meh. Just use an anonymizer and hey presto, no more SOPA. I'd like to see Tom debating with the Taoiseach about our appalling mental health system.

No offence meant Tom, but this SOPA stuff isn't very important to most people. Like most Irish laws, it sounds threatening until you realise that it won't be enforced.

Personally, if you do manage to have a public debate with Enda Kenny about our mental health system (or lack of it) I'd subscribe to Boards for 10 years and plaster my car with Boards.ie stickers without a quibble. You have quite a lot of public clout now, use it for some something a bit more important that can immeasurably improve hundreds of thousands of people's lives.

Wasn't it something like; "Don't make me take out the slide again?" like a frustrated teacher or parent of a bold teenager!

Seachmall

Tom ran right through Sherlock, fair fucks.

Stiffler2

what seems to be the issue here anyway ?

I am still downloading torrents and ripping off youtube, check the curtains every 10 - 15 mins but so far no FBI, CIA, Gardaí or EMI / court case.

The law may be here but you're all forgetting how we enforce law in this kuntree, we don't not to mention half the force have been wiped away


muhhh haaa aah ahahahahahahahahahhahahaha

I think everyone has a cause they'd like to see furthered, but one step at a time. The freedom of speech argument is well within the remit of boards as a company, and indeed all online discussion forums. Win this and maybe further steps can be taken - in fact DeV himself has moved to highlight mental health issues in AH as it turns out.

All struggles need cashy money though, so everyone put your money where your mouth is, and send the price of a couple of pints their way by subscribing. Plus you get a cool avatar and access to the sex forum. Need I say more.

+1 luckily DeV did so with his rebuttals. Kudos.

Wibbs

I've a lot of time for the Simon McGarr chap too. When you see quality minds, quality arguments and quality rebuttals ranged against a the minister and still the same minister sees no great problem with his stance and this legislation exists today, you really have to wonder about this nation of ours. If ever there was an example in microcosm of the guff that has held and continues to hold this nation back for too long just watch that video.
