OT - It's not about the name . . .
There seems to be an abundance of concern about the name in the From: line
in these groups. There are too many anal retentive people whose main concern seems to be trying to ascertain who is a sock puppet of whom and a consequent gnashing of teeth as to why people just do not use their real identities like good little mind controlled robots. Oh, the horrors of anonymity! Then follows the holier than thou mud slinging as to the character or lack thereof of subscribers who don't happen to fit the world model of the whiners and complainers who would have everybody toe a line they have drawn in the sand to define their little warped corner of reality. It's not about the name! It's about the content of the post. Those of you who are so overly concerned about real people using their real names are living an unreal existence. Instead of examining the content of a post you preoccupy yourselves with dwelling upon who, in real life, it could have been writing the post as if that information has any bearing on the content of the post, the message the posts wishes to convey, the lesson it attempts to teach, the information it wishes to impart or the false information it wishes to dispel. Your brain is dead. You are unable to accept an intellectual challenge and respond in kind so you resort to attacking the messenger. Those of you who go around yelling "troll," "sockpuppet," "bully," etc. are wasting everybody's time with your childish rants on discussion groups where adults interact. Those who gloat over how many people they kill file are simply demonstrating their anal retentive qualities and their refusal to think. There is no wish to discuss. Nay, the only wish is to re-affirm a closed mindedness by eliminating everything that doesn't happen to agree with their beliefs. So, I ask you a simple question, why bother with discussion groups when you manipulate them to only consist of that which you agree wholeheartedly? What's to discuss? Your mind is already made up. Why waste time reading things that only affirm your thinking? Are you so very frightened of diversity that your prime motive is to have everybody agree with you even if it involves killing off everybody who does not? The answer to that question lies in the word "insecurity." Closed minded people are insecure. They have gained security at the expense of reality. Reality frightens them. Creating their own reality comforts them. I ask you another question, do you really think your refusing to consider differences of opinions and continually bragging about your weakness and the fecundity of your kill file is more constructive than the honest opinions of those you decry - the sock puppets, the trolls, the bullies? You label according to the depths of your own ignorance and then you attempt to foist those labels off upon those whose minds are open? It you had half a brain you would realize why you are viewed with pity and not respect. Those of us who still value a mind that lives life fully loathe those of you who deny and kill your mind. Without us you have nothing. You feed off our minds because yours are dormant. You create an unreal world with your filters and your closed windows and doors. Yet, there you are scratching at the doors of thinking people seeking some sort of recognition. You aren't even able to live by those principles your profess. Yet you claim some sort of moral superiority. Hypocrites! Liars! Wilbur Hubbard |
