Denying the Obvious: When "IBM" Becomes "Just Letters"

16 January 2025

Oh, Colin Sun, you absolute visionary. In a world where IBM has been synonymous with computing innovation for over a century, you decided to play the "it's just letters" card. As if anyone with half a brain cell wouldn't see right through that transparent grab for a premium domain. Your defense reeks of someone who thought they could outsmart the system by pretending one of the most famous trademarks on the planet is up for grabs like a forgotten Scrabble tile.

Claiming an 'abundance of generic meanings' for IBM? Please, enlighten us – is it 'I Borrow Money' or 'Idiots Building Myths'? Your so-called cultural motive for ibm.app is about as convincing as a flat-earther explaining gravity. The panel called you out for zero evidence, and honestly, it's embarrassing how you thought that would fly. Next time, maybe stick to domains that don't scream 'sue me' from the rooftops.

You doubled down with a supplemental response, but all it did was highlight your lack of any real leg to stand on. Snagging a domain like this and then playing dumb? That's not strategy; that's straight-up denial of reality. Kudos for the audacity, but zero points for intelligence.
