Arstechnica reporter Peter Bright/DrPizza arrested for soliciting child sex (not the Anandtech DrPizza)

So how do we know for sure that drpizza of ars is not the same drpizza of anandtech? Didn't they simply stop posting at the same time?

They are 2 different people.

Since someone bumped it, he's been given 12 years jail + 7 years supervision after that:

I don't believe so, the Ars one (Peter Bright) was posting there right up until he was arrested.

I noticed Ars seemed to have changed his story bylines to "Ars Staff."

Yeah, with some other places I've seen, the mere accusation of a sexual crime gets all associated articles removed. But here Ars kept the content online of convicted pedo. It's obviously profitable for them, even as they sweep the issue under the rug.

Also after he was first accused, dozens of pro-pedo examples were pulled from his forum posts and social media by people just doing random searches on the internet. Under normal circumstances absolutely nobody would hire this guy, yet Ars had absolutely no qualms in doing so.

Dude, please. Tom and I had our "philosophical" differences at times, but anyone who knew our Dr. Pizza knows he's the exact opposite of a pedo. Among the approximately eight million things that Tom did and does at the very highest level, he's one of the most brilliant and caring and inspiring HS math teachers any student could have.

Why would anyone disappear a good article because the author did something somewhere else? That's dumbass liberal think. A new coat of wax and some shiny plastic makes the world all better, right?

I hear you, to a point.

Ezra Pound was a full fledged Facist sympathizer during WWII, but the canon of belle lettres would be poorer were his works summarily excised.

Woody Allen is a sad little perv, but his undeniable artistic talent enabled him to make a slew of indie movies no one else would have had the "pull" to make.

Otoh, I well understand the impetus to disinfect our common history from the stink of sexual perversion and murderous facism.

IMO, history is a matter of record, and an accurate record is of the highest importance. The future is what can, and should be changed.

I'm not entirely sure what the OP wants as far as Ars goes.

There's a significant issue with that though, in that for a lot of this stuff the cancelling happens because they don't want them to get money (or don't want to get sued because of business deals). Historically? Fine, sure, but how do you properly inform people? Because guess what we've had you right wing motherfuckers bitching when we put up disclaimers pointing out shit because you don't like how your history is full of white supremacist behavior. But if we don't you dolts will take it as gospel and start acting like fucking Nazis again.

STFU. You're about the dumbest motherfucker on these boards. You spew shit, and think you're the brightest bulb on the tree; a semi sentient fucking Dunning/Kruger demonstration...

Phew. I thought it was same as atot dr pizza

No way in hell. Our Dr. Pizza is the complete antithesis of Ars' Dr. Pizza.

In a thoroughly unrelated matter, our long-time poster Adolf Hitler wishes everyone here to know that he has never been a member of the Nationalist Socialist Party, and most certainly did NOT invade Poland.

In fact, Adolf wishes you to know that he's Swiss.

Yeah . . . we're going with that.
