Dumbass Desi Bodyshop Sends Phony Legal Threats

Geez, Desis are so fuckin' dumb. I'm talking about the ones that showed up here in the last few years and write at a 3rd grade level and think that they can bully and harass the locals. Are all you curry-scented scumbags dumb, delusional, or both?
Take for instance this cow-urine drinker from Apex Technology Group that is harassing our fellow insurgents at www.endh1b.com. After that site posted a testimonial from that forum for H-1B horror stories, Desicrunch.com, the Desi douchebag at Apex thought that he could start threating legal action and get www.endh1b.com to not only remove the post, but reveal the identity of the slumdog that was victimized by that bodyshop. The post at issue was on Desicrunch but has since been removed (after Apex threatened to kill the owner of Desicrunch, rape his wife, and throw acid in the face of his children, allegedly), but is available on www.endh1b.com :
Does anyone really believe that this is a progressive hero?
I am posting this because presenting racist conspiracy theories as progressive politics really bothers me.
The recent sensationalized posts claiming that the fact that endh1b.com and itgrunt.com were shut down is some attack on IT workers or progressives are ridiculous (the blogger above "Tunnel Rat" is a main contributor to both of these web sites). These sites were shut down on a court order based on a defamation claim. The defendants are anonymous, and remain so (reading the above it shouldn't surprise you).
(For the record, I am strongly against censorship, and don't support the order to shut down these sites without clear evidence of defamation... but that isn't the issue here).
While I am at it-- let me explain my distaste with the anti-H1B people.
I am an American computer programmer who works happily with people here on H1B visas. I benefit from working with them, they make my project more effective and my company more competitive.
There are, of course, legitimate concerns about the H1B visa. As an American worker I have a strong interest that anyone here has all of the same rights that I do. I want to be sure that no matter where someone was born, or how they came here, they have the ability to look for new work (with better pay) and to complain about conditions.
But, there is a big difference between being against immigrants (i.e. trying to keep them out), and being for immigrants (i.e. trying to make sure they have rights and can't be exploited).
Any group that is truly pro-immigrant-- that is trying to better working conditions for all-- has my support. And... you can be pro-immigrant and anti-H1B visa. You can attack the limitations of the visa without attacking the people who have it.
But that is not what is happening in groups like The Programmers Guild who are clearly anti-immigrant while pretending to be trying to be pro-worker.
A little honesty in these sensationalized story would be a good thing.
