Random bloke down pub commenting = irrelevant
Newspaper commented = arse hole doing his arse hole job
Political blogger commenting = arseholes by default
Imgboard owner commenting = commercial opportunist

# So what makes them different?
Anyone making a comment in the media could be considered a commercial opportunist.

Rob's opinions are valid. Do you think anything can be gained by DDoS attacks? All they do is piss off people - it won't change their minds. Look at Chanology - it started with DDoSing, which didn't work. That was followed up with an information war - exposing the truth - which IS working.

The papers would have been looking for someone British who runs a site similar to 4chan. (I don't think b3ta is that, but the press seem to think so)

Who do you think would be more appropriate for them to ask?

# I'm not sure I understand why you're angry
The distinctions you've made here and the judgements you've passed on them seem arbitrary, to me at least.
Rob was asked to give an opinion in exchange for money, and he did. If you violently disagree with the opinion then I can understand that, we all have different views on things, and some of those views are emotive. But you seem to be attacking him personally just for giving an opinion. That's the bit I don't get.

# would you rather
the press go to 4chan or 7chan and be trolled
OR
go to Rob and get a realistic response from someone who has an opinion, and will tell it as he see's it?

# i'm the random bloke down the pub and i'm looking to cash in on my 15 minutes of fame.
why is my comment, as the man of the street/down the pub irrelevant?

# Because opinion is the domain of the 'intelectual-classes' not some oiks down the local ;)
We working-class type should be seen and not heard.

# If Rob is a business owner, wouldn't being a "commercial opportunist" also qualify him for the "arsehole doing his arsehole job" category?
As in, he's doing his job by pimping his business. That's what ANY business owner does. Why are we all so eager to cry "sellout" all the time?
