<DIV><FONT size=2>Based on the tone/style/obsessive nature of the postings,
their carpet bombing style, and other probabilities arising from other
information received, it would not surprise me if the same group of young
cowards (No Weatherman) were/are involved in:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The vandalism of mostly Obama and other Democrat
candidates' signs, particularly in the Fort Russell area,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The recent attacks on the perceived (by the attacker) gender
orientation of certain students at WSU,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The string of arsons at WSU in the last year or
so,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The vast majority of the taggings that have plagued Moscow in
the last two years,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Several instances of vandalism in Moscow during the last few
years, and</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Several other property crimes including the
enter-from-the-roof-tops burglaries on Main Street going back at
least a few years.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I hope that when the identities of those in the No
Weatherman cabal and their adult encouragers/sponsors are discovered, a through
investigation is made. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I understand from a friend that at least one instance of
political sign destruction in Moscow was recorded on camera and the evidence was
turned over to the MPD. I hope these anti-freedom, unpatriotic crimes are
vigorously investigated and prosecuted rigorously and their connection to the
above list also investigated and prosecuted. Failure to do so will be an
ontologically defining episode for the MPD and prosecutors.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Having said that, I oppose rule changes for V2020. The
price of freedom of expression for all of us is that all exercise that
freedom in their own ways. Allowing the obsessive,
paranoid-delusional No Weatherman cabal to clip the wings of V2020 would grant
it a great victory, and also deal a great loss to local freedom of
expression.</FONT></DIV>

Indeed</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV class=Section1>
<P class=MsoNormal>Visionaries:<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>The Weathermen aka The Weather Underground was a collection
of mostly white, mostly privileged, underemployed, arguably over-educated,
little brats who threw violent and disruptive tantrums to emphasize
their outrage at the imperialistic and militaristic actions of the federal
government. There was something singularly galling (not to mention
criminal) about the post-adolescent jackasses who so arrogantly declared war
on America, blew up some buildings (and a couple of their own members) and
eventually (predictably) settled into the comfortable, upper middle-class
lives they claimed to disdain. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Now Vision 2020 has a Weatherman<SPAN
class=diccolor><I><SPAN lang=LA> doppelgänge</SPAN></I></SPAN><SPAN
class=diccolor><I><SPAN lang=LA> </SPAN></I></SPAN><SPAN class=diccolor>of its
very own - s</SPAN>elf important, parochially brainwashed, rude as only the
self-entitled can be, disruptive, threatening, and unquestionably a
jackass. Bill Ayers apparently offered the justification for the
extraordinarily intrusive behavior of No Weatherman while concurrently serving
as a role model. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>For all Ayers’ faults - and they are numerous - Bill
Ayers appears to live – at least at this point – in the real world. Trolls
like No Weatherman inhabit the land of Magical Thinking – where their coercive
and obsessive monopolization of conversation is a futile attempt to fill the
chasm that marks the boundary between maturity and immaturity, gravitas and a
pathetically prolonged adolescence, mental health and emotional fragility, a
sense of being grounded in the community and the wild flaying of an untethered
ego. Are his pompous pronouncements irritating as hell? You
betcha. Are his piddling pretensions of educating 2020
readers insulting and limited in intellectual scope? You betcha.
He is a sad and sorry piece of work. You definitely betcha.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>No Weatherman’s conversational style is reminiscent of a
shrieking child in the candy aisle demanding (and getting) a bag of Skittles
to shut him up. One can’t help noticing the little monster and drawing
some pretty plain conclusions about the adults in charge of him.
Similarly, perhaps it is time to revisit the goals and ground rules of V2020.
If the intention of the founders was to encourage a free flowing, un-moderated
community conversation it appears to be a failed strategy, or perhaps it
succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. However, when an anonymous bully
is allowed, indeed encouraged because of the lack of enforced guidelines
- to dominate the conversation and threaten other posters the antithesis of
communication has been achieved. No pragmatist is surprised when a
utopian concept is hijacked. Perhaps it’s time for a realistic reappraisal of
what does or does not contribute to a successful community chat group.
And, it is to be hoped, we will soon enjoy the implementation of a
structure that actually invites diverse and respectful
participation.<o:p></o:p></P>
