Gosh Juan, you didn't take that personally did you? I find your posts FASCINATING. I just figured it was a good post... so I put it up... after seeing the initial link.
Like I said before... ALL are welcome on this board. TROLLS, HUMANS, ANGELS and ANIMALS....... in fact, I would love to see GWB posting... and he's a TROLL for sure... LOL
: As kids we called each other names. Names like boofhead, shithead, slut,
: wanker, etc, etc. To ameliorate or negate these tags we used to chant
: to our antagonist-"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but
: labels will never hurt me...Nya nya nya nya". Remember that?
: You didn't really believe it then and you'd hoped by repeating the
: mantra over and over again you might one day get to believe its
: message, to wit, labels didn't hurt. You were sensitive to the labels
: kids hung on you when you disagreed with majority opinions, weren't
: you? And, by George, you vowed to do the same to others one day.
: 'I'm a very sensitive girl...I reserve the right to disagree with you
: and even be abusive to you, but you cannot do likewise to me'. is
: what adults effectively mean when they hang labels on others.
: It's Orwell's Animal Farm motto; "Some animals want an equality
: that's more equal".
: The more things change the more they remain the same.
: As adults age the more child-like, even girlish, do they become, whining
: and snivelling. Even adult males whine like girls.
: But bogeymen are everywhere. In the church they're heretics or
: apostates. Be afeared of them. Politically, they're traitors if they
: don't think the same as the Leader.
: Socially if one is not intimidated by Political Correctness he has poor
: form and should be ostracized.
: Bogeymen are everywhere; under every stone and blanket waiting to pounce
: on you. Electronic bogeymen called Trolls scare forum participants
: witless. Yes, they're the ones you hope to bully into conformity with
: your myopic ideas.
: First there's an action. I label you Troll and I ostracize you for
: disageeing with me.
: Then there's a reaction. You label me Troll for disagreeing with you and
: ostracize me.
: So, forums arise and label each other Trolls. Both groups then become
: gripped with fear of Trolls, Trolls and more Trolls so that warnings
: have to be issued regarding these non-existent ogres.
: By labelling others you hope your inadequacies, your fears and your
: nightmares might be ameliorated. But they don't. Instead you actually
: heighten your fears and your're paralyzed. You quickly find
: apostates, traitors, lurkers, trolls, demons and bogeymen are
: everywhere.
: I feel sorry for you.
