		<description><![CDATA[As a medium of communication, the internet does have advantages:  namely ease of use and access, wide horizontal distribution, and anonymity.  However, the internet has even greater drawbacks.  It is basically a cesspool of bastardized (as most people don’t understand the origin and history of the ideas they read) and ever mutating (once stated, others begin mis- and purposely re-interpreting) ideas.  Second, the author has no control over access to content.  Ideas, once stated, are defenseless.  

These characteristics make the internet far more useful for “liberal*” ideals that depend on misunderstanding and mutation to maintain the appearance of validity and relevancy, than for anything of real value.

		<description><![CDATA[Awww.  The umpteenth commenter X with a crush on me.

Ban me, erase me from your pristine archives, curse my name like Jews curse Hadrian.  Crush his bones!

I am being very earnest here.  Spastic overreactions like yours and Vox Day&#039;s help make my discernment easier.  Somehow I will survive.

And, if you had a smidgen of self-awareness, you&#039;d know that your whimpering only contributes to my notoriety, which only contributes to my power over you.  But you can&#039;t help but publicly &lt;i&gt;emote&lt;/i&gt;, like a contradicted woman.  The wiser ones know their limitations and choose to ignore what they cannot neutralize.  Then there&#039;s you, who can&#039;t even use the blunt instrument of censorship, but rather is reduced to complaining to the teacher to handle a conflict beyond your ability to engage, much less resolve in your favor.

See, I don&#039;t have to call for your banning because I know you will fade by virtue of your underwhelming existence.  And were that not the case, there are more efficient ways of dispatching minor irritants like you anyway:  by calling their bluff.  If you had the slightest wit or capacity for rhetoric, you&#039;d have hinted at it by now.

		<description><![CDATA[@ King A:

Just read the blog linked via your &quot;henpecked&quot; quote above.

Kudos to the Alpha Game site for banning you.  From all appearances, you deserved it.

Rollo: I&#039;m curious....why haven&#039;t you also decided to ban Matt?  This site, and others, would unquestionably benefit from his absence.

Just a thought.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;b&gt;avd&lt;/b&gt;,

You are wise to disassociate yourself from my remarks for comity&#039;s sake with this crowd.  But know that you are talking to a wall and that your energies are needed/better spent elsewhere.

In any event I appreciate your speaking up to the few of us who are listening.  You are onto something very big, and even if we don&#039;t come to the best conclusions together, your observant eye will be very useful in the coming years.  Keep working the problem.  Above all, persist.  I&#039;ve been looking for some kernels of wheat in this winnowing house of chaff, and you provide hope.

Have you found any other forums where they get it?  Or at least any that attracts a less sensitive/perpetually wounded crowd?  I&#039;m looking for a graduate seminar but keep encountering romper rooms.  This subject requires a &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://isteve.blogspot.com/2012/12/intellectual-discourse-taking.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;heterotopic discourse&lt;/a&gt;&quot; rather than the typical &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://alphagameplan.blogspot.com/2013/01/a-tale-of-two-discourses.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;sensitivity driven&lt;/a&gt;&quot; &lt;a href=&quot;http://alphagameplan.blogspot.com/2013/01/banning-matt-aka-king-a.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;hen-peck&lt;/a&gt;* which is the mark of our feminist age.  That a &quot;manosphere&quot; can&#039;t accomplish this minimum level of manly exchange is a sign it hasn&#039;t escaped even the most obvious of feminism&#039;s influences.

&lt;b&gt;Rollo&lt;/b&gt; does a pretty good job keeping his own tone elevated and the questions sophisticated (despite a few lapses), but his bruised fanboys menstruate all over this site like a tampon on heavy-flow day.

&lt;i&gt;Have the power still
To banish your defenders; till at length
Your ignorance, which finds not till it feels,
Making not reservation of yourselves,
Still your own foes, deliver you as most
Abated captives to some nation
That won you without blows! Despising,
For you, the city, thus I turn my back:
There is a world elsewhere.&lt;/i&gt;

Matt
