If Rapha literally copied a club's badge without their permission they could and probably would get sued. Some things can't be copyrighted, certainly, but we're not talking about something vague, we're talking about something very specific and if someone did it to my work and passed it off as theirs, I'd be raging. Again, pointing to the faults of others doesn't diminish our own.
I'd say in this you have put yourself in the firing line, and for whatever reason, you're unable to be objective. I very much doubt anyone on here is sending hate mail, but we do have a right to discuss what Mamick/Thom has himself put out into the world and comment upon it without being told we're "spewing holier than thou crap" by someone who themselves is biased/blinkered. That twitter account is fucking awful, and contrary to Thom's beliefs you don't have to be a card carrying communist to think or say it.
