Ok, back to my previous entry. Firstly, let me explain something. I know almost nothing about HTML, but I’m trying to learn. I guess I haven’t learned enough to be able to use the HTML editor to post my journal (or edit it either). I’m still working on that. But for now…it’s rich text editor for me!!!
So, that guy was talking about using violence against the government to get his point across and he had some people that agreed with him. I think that they were probably actually considering joining up. I’m naturally suspicious. And I’m especially suspicious of someone talking so openly about such a high crime. Well, I told the board this. This guy got upset with me. And said some pretty stupid things to me. Stuff about me not knowing what I’m talking about, I guess. And that it was not illegal to talk about committing violence against the U.S. I guess he didn’t bother to look at my link, because he never mentioned that part of what I said.
It amazes me that people think they can say just anything anytime they want. Sure the First Amendment guarantees us the right to voice our dissent with the government, it does not however allow us to threaten our governing body. Congress has enacted laws against such a thing. And the Patriot Act takes that even further. I don’t know who this guy is, but I’m pretty sure he’s looking to cause trouble. Maybe get more convictions or something. I don’t know exactly. I know that if he’s just the regular guy he professes to be he should probably keep his violent intentions to himself. He’s just asking for trouble right about now. The government is just waiting for subversives to rise up so they can slap them down. I guess he’s the one who’s naive. I’ll give him that. Or he’s just completely untrustworthy.
Anyway, I left the thread and have no plans to ever respond to cry-baby anymore. I don’t trust him and would rather not put myself on the radar. I wish that I could challenge this guy more openly, but it’s not worth it. He’s one of those people that sort to personal attacks to further their own cause. They don’t like people coming in and interrupting their personal rants.
I’m like that, sure. But when I’m on a discussion board I expect (and sometimes encourage) others to challenge me. And there are plenty of people that would probably be suspicious of my motives. I don’t take any of their arguements to heart…unless they get personal. That’s when I just step away. I feel like it’s not my place to disrupt actual, good discussion with petty, personal bickering. This guy is not above that. I’ve noticed a lot of people are not above that. This guy could have emailed me privately and we could still be arguing back and forth. That’d be more appropriate. I probably should have just kept my comments to myself, but I don’t think a lot of people would have thought of the possibility that there was a mole if someone wouldn’t have said it. So I said it. If anything then there are some more people that are suspicious of this guy and are going to speak a little more carefully where he is present. And maybe his little game will come to an abrupt halt.
Of course, if he wants to catch someone for treasonous activities he’ll probably find lots to do on that particular board…lol. But when they start busting in doors I doubt that they find anything very interesting. Most of the people on the internet are just blowhards who have balls only when someone can’t see them.
