Let's get this over with.
The RLSH community is not the center of the Movement. By definition, the RLSH community is self-serving, self-promoting, and in the end, self-aggrandizing.
Sorry guys, but it's the truth. I've been in the community for quite a while, and every guy or girl worried a little more about what color spandex to wear than about losing the beer gut is a LOUD indicator.
(that's a trivial and harsh comment, but just know that it's simply an allegory for a larger problem. Like worrying more about image than intent).
Recently the HN was plundered of it's written past. Thousands of comments were deleted by Tothian and Master Legend. Useful comments, but simply comments nonetheless.
After this incident, we took on a new motto, due to the fallen Setzer's posts being lost forever by the deletion.
"Esse Quam Videri"
"To be, rather than to seem to be."
-Cisero, 129 BCE. *Favorite quote of the late Setzer.
This means a great deal to me. I cannot say it any simpler. I try to live by this.
I never claimed to be a hero. No one should.
Which is the reason for this sentiment, right here, right now.
The RLSH'ers are not the movement. They are a branch of it, yes, but they can't be the center. They're too fundamentally flawed, not by who they are, but by what they do, and who they associate with. You are who you allow, in the end.
I'm done with whatever this was. Z is not the mask, Z is me.
While I will certainly not be posting pictures of my face, due to my past outings with the mask, I am hereby officially giving notice of intent:
I am starting a movement. All who help are welcome, but be warned; I will not be kind to those who attempt to poison it with their shameless self-promotion, petty drama, or dramatic overuse of a persona to the point of unreality.
"It's not always about you. In fact, it's never about you."
Very good line.
I am in league with anyone that wants to help, including those part of the RLSH (who can aid with manpower and knowledge, if nothing else), RLSV (to publicly demote immoral spectacles within the RLSH community), or anyone else willing to devote their life, or a good chunk of time and determination, to this cause.
All are welcome to live.

Z,
ReplyDeleteWait, it was Tothian and Master Legend? From the rumor web, it was proposed to have been Villains who did this dastardly act. So much so, that some (read: Infantile Demon, and his trained gerbils) have been blaming Villian Cyber Criminals, and sophisticated Virus work. It was heroes all along? Well that just makes the absolute most common sense answer. Of course, it was someone with authority, and the security credentials.
Thank you.

Yeah, a lot of people doubt it, but the multitude of evidence we have points directly at the two of them.
ReplyDeleteTothian convinced a young moderator to give him her password to "look around"... she did, and he used a really superfluous mod function to massdelete tons of shit, and ban a lot of people. She attested to this.
Plus I traced an IP back to Orlando, and ML posted in the midst of the deletions that "we shouldn't have angered the Archangel Metatron"...He'd been banned a few weeks before due to his claiming to be Metatron.
We do not fuck around on the HN. Act like a child, get shown the door.
Needless to say, the necessary attributes to become a moderator on the HN have been tightened up quite a bit.
ReplyDeleteAll the things the RLSV rail against is what we rail against, as well, for the most part. I can't say I agree with some of the nihilistic sentiment of some of you guys, but one thing about me:
Even if I don't agree with a state of mind, I always understand it.
Such an admirable goal... I appreciate your practicality and realism. I read your bio blurb, it's exactly what I think. If you are going to fight crime, make sure you do it right, don't wear spandex.
