The material presented on [peacegirl's idiot] site and in a few lucky forum threads is one long flame-out of such intensity that it fully obscures whatever idea-monster it is protecting from examination. "…don’t be too hasty in using what you have been taught as a standard to judge what has not even been revealed to you yet… …it is a refusal even to open our eyes to examine the evidence that is plainly in view… …Skepticism alone is not the primary problem… The main problem is the pride"… …break through this sound barrier of learned ignorance and reach those who will be able to extract the pure, unadulterated… critical mass will be reached… public pressure… deafening roar… Now be honest with yourselves; do you really know, or only think you know? … …soon to be revealed which permit you to see this miracle… 'I have a dream' said Dr. Martin Luther King… …wrath of the establishment because it threatens the status quo… … like to ask you the following questions. Do you prefer war… …the Golden Age of man…"

Interesting how this guy (I remember him) is now classifying me as an internet nutter because I tried to use the internet to share this knowledge. |
As always, you are a silly cow with zero reading comprehension. "Internet nutter" is a term of endearment/respect for this guy. After all, he proudly describes himself as an internet nutter. What he's tried to do is establish a set of guidelines for effectively conveying what he termed "idea-monsters" via the internet (see his Ten Steps to Better Internet Nutting). He used Lessans' book and your inept advocacy thereof as examples of what not to do. It's hard to argue with that, given that you've been engaged in online advocacy for 14 years with exactly zero success.
Dudebro had exactly nothing bad to say about the substance of Lessans' claims. You being paranoid and dumb, though, you assumed the opposite.

He had nothing bad to say about the claims because he didn't read the goddamn book and he knows nothing about it. Yes, I could improve my presentation (even though I'm not doing any more forums). I read his list of dos and don'ts but the fact that he was assuming that the sponsor of "the great idea" is more about a personality flaw than anything else is, once again, placing the cart before the horse. No one that I know of is trying to bring a major discovery to light, so he cannot put me in the same category as other internet nutters (like himself). In doing so he has missed the mark by generalizing too much and putting everyone into the same pot.
The typical response is panic and a cry of foul. Followed by a tragic appeal to Greatness. A better response is to come to terms with a basic conundrum of internet nutting. It doesn't matter how much confidence a nutter has in their idea-monster or even whether it is decisively correct. I can attest that there is a sort of inner clarity about one's idea-monster that leads one to consider it ready for internet nutting that is definitely something other than an objective plain perception. However, there is no simple way to express that inner clarity through the dense and damp fog of one's personality. This is a fog so regular in its daily appearance that the personality that generates it has adjusted its sight to see through it. Kind of. The view is still a bit dark and obscure. It is like turning up an internal brightness control to compensate.
No such compensation is taking place for the reading public. Any initial public response will express a sincere concern that there is only a dense and damp fog to be found where clarity was promised. Okay, I'm putting that gracefully. And charitably. It can be a flogging on bare parts you didn't know were bare. I've watched many times as well-meaning nutters come to the forums to announce the availability of their idea-monster. Expecting to get straight to whipping the world's problems, the nutter is instead shocked and appalled to find that things get quickly bogged down over trivialities like spelling and grammar. Clearly, these aren't the butt-people.
