Harrassment.

Mods,
I recieved this telegram.....another quasi-legal telegram asking me to endorse, yet another proposal.



I have written a proposal and would like you to endorse it as soon as possible. It is entitled "Freedom from Exploitation" and it goes along quite well with what you believe.

Sounds fairly harmless right?

I wrote back asking "how do you know what I believe? No, I will not endorse it."


I got back this one....


Yeah, you do seem like a Randian objectivist. At least based on your nation. I was hoping that even the most illogical believer in Capitalism will drop it considering what is so apparently obvious with it. Oh well, no hope for you then. And don't give me any of that Socialism is slavery crap. You can think seperately of Ayn Rand you know. You have to acknowledge the fact that every form of government will have its slaves. Even anarchy, where the weak will be the slaves of the strong. The difference with Socialism and Marxism is that the slave becomes the enslaver, and the enslaver becomes the slave. But think about that. Wouldn't it be nice if you could tell right to your bosses face that you hated him, without getting fired? Or that you controlled whether or not you were laid off? Or you decided how to invest your companies' money? At this point, it should seem much more enticing. This is the idea of what the last sentence of my proposal is about. It is handing the means of production to those that actually do the producing!



Sort of bewildered at the uncalled for rant...I returned one saying...
"what in the blue hell are you talking about?

I got this in return.

Are you an educated capitalist (I.E. an Objectivist) or are you just a greedy pig (upper-class daddy's boy)? Either way your logic for being so is flawed.

Nice huh?

It gets better..

Thouroughly confused, and somewhat annoyed....I returned a final letter..asking him to stop sending me any tg's..and to please leave me alone.

I got this:


Oh, but of course not! Now that I have annoyed you, it is getting fun! You may either listen and think, or you may listen until your teeth grind together, but I won't shut up now. The only reason that you wouldn't support a proposal to help cease worker exploitation was because of what you believed. I was trying to pinpoint why you believed this. My guesses were that you are somebody's boss, or you are an Objectivist. If you don't know what an Objectivist is, then why in the hell are you running a Region? And why did you snap at me in the first place? Didn't it even cross your mind that I was fishing for votes? That same message was sent to about 500 delegates, because I really wanted to push through that proposal.


Ok...first off..Ive heard somewhere that spamming (and thats exactly what it is!) of delegates is tolerated if you want to push a proposal through.....I object to that immensely, but I guess I cant do anything about it.

Secondly...THIS is harrassment as far as Im concerned...maybe you guys disagree..I dunno..

But i think this guy should be reprimanded at the very least..and kicked out of the UN, at the most.

Either way..Im happy.

Thanks for listening.

Heh...I forgot to mention that the persons name is "the United socialist states of Locke Haters"

I'd remove the name, and file this in the getting help page.

Also, you have an ignore button for telegrams.
