Hrm...

Well... I hadn't seen that... thanks ECH. Puts things in perspective a little.

Well Hugh does have a point.

However the method of presenting said point was rather rude, abrupt and as subtle as a thrown half-brick.

Which REALY doesn't do well to getting across one's feelings and the whole point tends to be lost in vitriol.

In your eyes,


what is his point?

[Wolfpoet]

Organisation.

Some people have decided that for Discordianism to succeed it has to be organised. Various debates to the level of that organisation, but that's a growing view.

Now most people who would disagree I think tend to just shut up now, get slammed for voicing an opinion otherwise.

I got that, i still remember the slamming i got for what peopel thought was "trying to ruin what they where trying to achieve".

So now I add what insights I can and keep my opinions to myself.

Hugh believes that organisation would turn Discordianism into some political/religous/fan club etc (pick whichever applies).

That's his point, in my view.

There is always a danger that organisation would lead to mobilisation and turn the whole damn thing into a runaway monster.

It's just a possibility, not saying that's what will happen so no flaming please.

your view is noted, but flawed in that there's quite a bit of history and back-story that you're unaware of.

Hugh likes to lash out anytime he perceives that someone he disagrees with might be threatening his status as Uber-elite Discordian Royalty.

last time, he accused me of hacking PD.com, lied about having evidence to prove his ridiculous accusations, convinced the other people who were mods at the time to either back his lie or remain silently complicit, had me banned from the original EB&G site, used his mod-hood to maliciously edit my posts, and basically did everything in his power to run me off, as well as anyone who dared to come to my defense.

I'm not stupid. I buried the hatchet and forgave him in the interest of the larger group dynamic (and because moral victories are hollow when they involve being run out of your favorite forum), but I didn't forget what happened. Now he's not in a position to run me off of these here forums, so I don't feel the need to accept his shitty treatment of myself and the other people who are guilty of thoughtcrimes in the esteemed opinion of his most Exalted Irreverend.

Also, I don't think it's cool to talk shit behind peoples' backs.

This is the correct dish best served cold.  I was unfortunately indisposed for most of that particular nastiness, but it wasn't pretty.

[Scribbly]

Yeah... you gotta admit, its the whole cross-forum thing that makes it seem a little bit more malicious. His point would probably seem more valid and less... well, for lack of a better word, mean.

I'd welcome a runaway monster.


I think Discordia needs more runaway monsters.

[Cain]

Organization is not the right word...increased communication would be much better, while having the desired effects and very little of the downsides.  More on that another time though.

let it be known
that people travelling to the same destination tend to end up on the same path


its not organization
but
it happens to carry a resemblance to something we refer to as 'being organized'

and
you are in a sinking ship trying to get to dry land
