The aliases who participated in building places designed exclusively to exclude him (and BIA) were acting in concert. I have every bit as much right to inflict my moral perceptions on you, as you do to inflict yours on me. I've read your moral pronouncements on CH, ad nauseum. I think you are grossly mistaken, and have acted immorally yourself, to boot. You don't like that assessment? Tough.

It has nothing to do with Ch's utterances. It has everything to do with the actual actions taken by aliases in this forum. The behavior here, actually, looks a lot like the behavior in Lord of the Flies. A group of people desperately groping for a Beastie. First you vilify, then you dehumanize, then you attempt to annihilate. I was much amused to see that I got to become the Beastie after the group was semi-tired of CH. All I did was say I had a different opinion about the facts, and defend that opinion. I never stalked anyone to anywhere to defend it; nor did I contact anyone in 3d to defend it; nor did I attempt to get anyone into trouble in 3d to defend it.

I am sure it is possible for people to render independent judgments. But there are not many independent people on this thread. Many of the people on this thread crave approval and association so much, they welcome interludes where their common hatreds can bring them together. It is very human to allow yourself to enjoy being brought closer to others by finding a shared person (whom you can objectify) to hate. But it is not very attractive.
