Turley Blather...



Greetings, Dorktor.

 *> Every time I listen to Don Henley�s new CD track �Working 
It� the lyrics
 *> relate so very well to the current state of the Apple II 
community affairs
 *> - in most every way and with every word in those lyrics.

I suppose.  I would have guessed "End of the Innocence" would 
have been more appropriate in describing you.

 *> I�ve come to one conclusion. That the only way to 
overcome the actions

One conclusion?  Are you sure you can count that high?

 *> waged against you by others is to simply let them void 
their own retreat,
 *> in their own special and ignorant fashion. It�s called 
selective, self

I'm waging this against, YOU Turdley.  Bev can do as she 
pleases with her service and software.

 *> destruction by hate, greed and the refusal to be 
cooperative, tolerant and

We won't cooperate to intellectual property rape, Doofus.  
And we won't tolerate it just to make you or any of the other 
Turlettes feel better.  Sorry.  Get used to it.

 *> understanding of the majority needs. This, gives them no 
retreat to wage

The majority has no rights over that of the minority, 
Dorktor.  We have copyright laws to protect the minority.  We 
have property laws to protect everyone.  When you try to blur 
the lines, you show your dishonesty and immorality.  You 
suck.

 *> their nasty, hateful antics from, against you and the 
majority of the
 *> community in general.

Man, you're dense, Charles.  Bev isn't that target.  YOU are.  
What a butthead.

Now if teh majority of the Apple Community doesn't care about 
theft, then they're the target to.  So sad.

 *> The beauty of the Internet is that you can�t have a 
vigilante force or a
 *> tyrant clan that rules a select area and group community 
with their desire

Indeed.  But we have exactly the same right to voice our 
opinions as pathetic, loser thieves.  :)

 *> for greed, power control and intimidation. The Apple II 
community old power
 *> structures and their stability - who use these tactics 
are headed towards
 *> the same fate as a city that�s unprepared and perched on 
an active
 *> earthquake fault. 

Hmm... lost your train of thought.  Shrug.

 *> When the city crumbles from ignorance of it�s inhabitants 
by their lack of
 *> unity, cooperation, tolerance, understanding and not 
being prepared -

Great!  You're going to cooperate by not stealing folks 
stuff?!!?  We couldn't ask for more!  I'd even learn to 
tolerate you if you stopped.

 *> oddly, they all look around wondering why it happened. 
Simple, because it
 *> was built on an active, unstable fault and nobody did the 
proper retrofit
 *> with the main structures for the needs of the majority of 
the community. If
 *> that�s not done it won�t survive.

Yeah, but if there are folks stealing the supports on the 
buildings in the community, you don't need a fault.  It will 
collapse on its own.

 *> What if, some day you go to the web site or ftp site you 
usually go to for
 *> your needs and support, finding those needs and support 
gone? With the
 *> state this community has now reached, it could occur at 
anytime without
 *> warning. I�m going to do my best to see that does not 
happen.

Yeah.. you addicts must get your fix.  How long before you 
get tired of the same old programs because developers are 
gone.  We don't have that many.

You'll move on to other territory, and leave the Apple II 
community dead and stinking.

 *> During the next few months I�ll be developing and 
organizing a 7/24 hi
 *> speed DSL public access ftp and http site with my own 
domain name and my
 *> own ISP - apple2.net - to freely offer everything that 
everybody that�s an
 *> Apple2 hobbist or user needs, wants and desires to make 
it a productive and
 *> free Internet computer community without tyrant and 
vigilante force or
 *> greed and power control over the Apple2 community 
majority.  Will it work? 
 *> that up to you - the majority of the community to help 
make it work.  It
 *> can work if you unite as a majority to help make it work.

So... looking for recruits to the Turlettes?  Go ahead.  Suck 
the joy out of the Apple II experience.  Steal, lie, con.  
Party down, maggot.

 *> Here�s one current example of how a community can come to 
the aid of the
 *> majority needs with community services, freely giving for 
the needs of each
 *> other.  Giving is the ultimate form of unity and 
cooperation.  In just two
 *> days a public post and call for one single missing part 
resulted in making
 *> a complete Apple II title available freely for the needs 
of all - with Bank
 *> Street Writer III.

A community where the majority doesn't protect the minority 
is a doomed community.  You've just described the joy of a 
feeding frenzy.  Trouble with frenzies, is eventually, 
everyone gets bit.

 *> leaving all of you with all of this in mind, I am 
�Working It�,  now for
 *> all it�s worth, in any and every way I possibly can for 
the needs of the
 *> community majority and not for the desires of the 
tyrants, greedy control
 *> freaks and hate festering vigilante clans.  I suggest you 
do the same.  

When the majority _BECOMES_ the tyrant, you'd better run for 
the hills.  Remember the French Revolution...  They got rid 
of their tyrant, but a lot of heads rolled after that.  A 
LOT.

 *> That does not include wasting time with silly debates, 
flame wars, legal or
 *> illegal attitude discussions, threads, rant/rave replies 
and such on this
 *> newsgroup any longer. 

Hey, no problem.  You had nothing to contribute in 
enlightenment anyway.

 *> As another Apple II person that I DO ADMIRE for what she 
offers (even if
 *> she doesn�t think I DO) - just posted and I fully 
conclude the quote that
 *> follows - sums it all up with me and I suspect with many 
others also!

Heh...

doesn't refer to Bev?  :)

 *> �That's my view, anyway.  So get out the tar and 
feathers, you won't stop
 *> us from giving out even more free services and help.�

You mean, giving out other peoples property.

 *> Cheers, Peace and Best Wishes, Tom
