Love Thy Neighbor? Orcinus The antics of Misha, the "Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler," have notched another turn in the spiral of eliminationist violence that I've remarked upon previously. Now he has gone so far as to advocate the death of a "traitor" who runs an anti-Bush Web site. Oh my, apparently the guy over at Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler is really really stupid. You see I've not visited the site myself and I'm getting the story second hand but if the quotes are genuine, and I have no reason to think they're not, then he has crossed a very bold line, from being a blowhard to being a dangerous blowhard. I've spent a few minutes here and there reading through some forums from both left leaning and right leaning sites. I've been scared by some random comment on more than one occasion. For the most part the people that run successful sites are fairly balanced with slight leanings here and there. Of course the more you cater to the fringe elements the more your site will wander into looneyville. I should get to my point, and its this: Lets stop with the "Liberals are traitors" talk right now! Its foolish, its dangerous and as sad as this sounds, there are some people that don't have the good sense to know when to take outrageous political rhetoric for what it is: sillyness. If you think that promoting violence is acceptable, even in jest, then you should really seek some help, take some time away from the insuler world of the internet or take up a hobby... preferably one with lots of strenuous running and jumping. We can agree to disagree but we should all decide that our idealogical battles should be fought with civility, with words aimed at issues, and topics and when applicable, politicians. But never in such a way that we advocate violence against another human. That's just sick. | |
