I really try not to judge, but: They're a bunch of bitches. The Mob. Nothing more. I'm sure everyone is quite amused with everyone else. Such is the way of the mob. I shall not send email to the list again. Bitches often volunteer for such groups - noone else will have them. Quote from a review of Anarchist in the Library: The other theme that runs throughout the book is that of cynicism. Here Siva contrasts the civically engaged cynicism of the Greek philosopher Diogenes of Sinope, with the narcissistic cynicism of Seinfeld's George Costanza. Why cynicism? In Siva's words, "What could be a more ideal environment for a cynic than cyberspace...?" The question, however, is whether and how we can promote the responsible and humane cynicism of Diogenes vs. the shallow, rude and selfish cynicism of Costanza. Of course, it sort of depends on how you define rude. To make a point, Diogenes once masturbated in the market square. Says Siva, with tongue in cheek but also a valid point, "And nothing represents the overall nature and substance of the Internet better than masturbating in the marketplace." I'm not sure why, but it definately fits. You guys turned a simple question into a complete show. Congrats!
