Anytime someone expresses an "unpopular opinion" and gets backlash for it, they love to hide behind "free speech" to justify the shitty things they say. The fact is, free speech protects you from the government taking action against you for your opinions (so mayors trying to use zoning laws to prevent them from opening their restaurants IS unconstitutional). However, freedom of speech does NOT mean freedom from consequence nor does it remove the rights of others to express their opinions on the matter (a mayor sending a letter to the CEO of Chik-Fil-A requesting they not open a restaurant in their city is absolutely constitutional and within the realm of freedom of speech). So they can tout "free speech" as a defense all they want, but that doesn't mean they won't or shouldn't experience consequences from the American people. Protesting, boycotting, creating hyperbolas and satire videos is a consequence of their free speech, and is also protected by free speech.

Are you planning on bringing wootstock to Portland again? Because you should!

Wil Wheaton has a facebook? Since when? I thought he despised Facebook.

Holy smokes Anne is GORGEOUS! But I knew that because I totally sat behind her at Wootstock Portland in 2010 and realized later that it was her. When she hit the table, I nearly died and think I woke up the entire household.

My BF does that too!

Hahaha awesome. and now I want to play Draw Something with you. That would just give me a nerdgasm. :P Long shot, but if you want to initiate a game with me, my email is stephani.diamond@gmail.com

It's okay Wil. I'm a twentysomething and I can vouch that most people my age are brats. But then, I am actually going to college and will be graduating in June.

Sweet! I should have known you'd thin of that! Haha.

I'm wary of downloading the PDF version because I would want to print and bind it at Kinko's. I used to work at Kinko's so I know copyright issues are really sticky. Is there something that states that printing for personal use is okay? If not, can I somehow get written permission from you stating that I can have the file printed?

Sadly, I don't have $50 to spend. Hopefully I'll be able to see you next time you're in Portland, Oregon and I'll have you sign my current copy.

I love thinkgeek! I think most of my t-shirts came from thinkgeek...and woot. In fact, I think all of the gifts exchanged between my boyfriend and I on Valentine's day were form Thinkgeek. Haha.

Just how many of those "hopefuls" were from Thinkgeek.com?

<3 it!

Happy Birthday, Wil! /late...but it's still your birthday, so there!

Forgive me if this has been asked, but there are a lot of comments... Do the actors on the show actually know Klingon in real life? Do you know Klingon?

OMG I CAN'T WAIT! <3 I'm so jealous of Codex. Hell, I'm jealous of Fawkes!

I've made it my mission to watch/read ALL of your works. So very much YES! And if I ever see you in Portland again, I'll have you sign it so it will be even more limited edition. :D

That's awesome! I don't really watch Leverage, but I watched the episode you were in and plan on watching the next one you'll be in. I guess I'll have to make some trips to Ground Kontrol this week in hopes of seeing you there. That sounded kinda creepy, huh? Well, have fun in Portland, Wil. Hope you do get to try Voodoo Donuts.

That's amazing. I'm so excited for Season 4! Been catching up on "The Big Bang Theory" in the meantime. BTW, you're totally hawt in a kilt. ;)

I don't use any FB apps or games. I use it just to connect with my friends. I don't know how much of my information is made available when all I do is post, but I also don't post anything I don't want people knowing.

So did all the screaming fangirls make you feel like a real rock star? You attempting to sing to Lady Gaga was fucking epic. You rocking Bon Jovi was...epicer...? If I am ever lucky enough to play rockband with you, my life will be complete.

Oh man, my boyfriend started playing that game and he sang that song while he was playing! HA!

I was JUST listening to the audiobook too. :) Are you going to do any audio versions of any of your other books? Because that would rock.
