How to spread the word...

Published on Thu 07 of Apr, 2005

Yesterday I stomped an innocent little sucker into the ground...
I just disassembled him with brute force of words...
And underlined my statement with the evilest set of eyes I could find in my repertoire...
I think I was pretty convincing, even my Püppi wanted to stop me. If it wouldn't have been for two other guys who couldn't stand laughing their asses off, situation could have been badly received.
All this just happend! This little guy was a born victim and I was there to abuse him!

That was not cool!

Well, I have to admit, this little pervert ego of mine liked the mental discussion masturbation that was going on... (wee, now I feel used by my uber-ich)

Today I got some real problem with assessing my actions. I don't think that I did evil and I even don't think, that this guy has taken it too seriously. But was it good for the cause? Did it help to spread the word? Is a carpet bombing of arguments really capable of convincing anybody? To be honest, I think that in this case it was the right thing. At least this guy has something to think of. Probably he won't do it, but his neural network got conditioned so the next time he's confronted with this cause, he's going to think. And at least two other formerly unbiased people in the room got to hear the basic set of arguments and I guess now they are at least aware of the problems at hand. Two guys, knowing how to take the whole thing, had a great show and one more had a good time, too, I think. Also my Püppi liked it, although she might have been a little embarrassed from time to time... sorry ;)

Next time I'll just chit-chat about the topic with this guy, but yesterday he got a necessary preparation for this. His lack of arguments for his point of view really convinced me that he needed it. He really seems to have no clue, what he's representing. Hell, I would have done better fighting for his side than he did!

Oh, you want to know what this whole 'argument' was about?
Poor bastard is a Microsoft fan and I used it to pick a quarrel about intellectual property and patents.

Yeah, I'm a fanatic, a fanatic who doesn't want to draw a thin red line...
