This thread will be dedicated to just plain STUPID statements made by the doom crowd.

Here is one from the "hawk" of StinkAss2000 fame:

I can't wait for Y2K to start screwing things up. I'm going to do a lot of laughing next year. If the pollys are rude enough to laugh and ridicule those who calmly and faithfully follow their instincts, then I am sure as hell rude enough to laugh my ass of when they start tripping out. This is gonna be fun! -- Hawk (flyin@high.again), November 14, 1999.

The great mass of people are, and have been, carried by the relatively few who can think ahead for at least a planting or hunting season. Without genetics (note to Christians: evolution) that selected for at least a few people in each tribe to think ahead (OR ELSE) we would still be hunter gatherers being selected for or against by the ability to see the necessity to at least get out of the way of the glaciers.

-- A (A@AisA.com), November 21, 1999.

You're right A! That is so true. It's like we have the ability to actually visualize the image in our minds of something in the distant future. Most people don't think more than a week or two in advance, they make plans, but they don't form an image of what it will be like. We are the ancestors of the primates that invented the wheel, while everyone else just stood around wondering what the hell they were doing! That's it! :-)

 Compassion ... enough to help out my community and neighbors, to the best of my limited abilities.

 Extreme sadness ... for their eyes closed mentality and inability to see global impact potentials on local livelihoods.

 Resolve ... to see that never again, are we ruled by denial and fear, but welcome openness, truth, tolerance and honesty.

7.) How will you feel towards the Pollys if Y2K turns out to be a bump in the road?

 Compassion ... that they cant see beyond their own limitations, nor learn greater lessons.

 Gratitude ... for all the massive hard work put in by programmers, organizers, emergency managers, etc. (By clutter clearing the code and going through the contingency planning process, they will have all contributed to a stronger, more resilient, more self and other aware interdependent world).

 Hope ... that they do as well (i.e. get lucky or get prepared) for the next natural or manmade disaster (including upcoming California earthquakes, et. al.).

8.) Who are the most despised and respected persons on this forum?

The word despised is inappropriate. The most annoying are the disruptive troll-types.

Most respected ... the whole Yourdonite research team ... working, and laughing, together!!! (Along with Kevins awesome links).

Any one and any act that contributes to complacency in the face of the monumental uncertainty that is Y2K is guilty of SEDITION - Will Huett

Counseling people to not have food and water available so that they can remain in their homes quietly in the event of disruptions due to Y2K is precisely seditious. The "tranquility of the state" is served best in the face of these uncertainties by BASIC FOOD,WATER AND SHELTER PREPARATIONS. In the aftermath of Y2K the de Jagers, the Bennets and Koskinens will be brought up on these charges, assuming the State survives.

One of the reasons I decided to split the forum (besides finalizing preparations) is the level of trolling and debunking which apparently served no purpose other than to disrupt the flow of ideas and concepts on this board. It's almost as if these "hacks" have been sent to do their worst to tarnish the forum, and turn away anyone curious about Y2K. Arguing with them is pointless and a waste as I found out. My time is better spent elsewhere.

But if the SYOPS now moderating the blessing Ed Yourdon has left for everyone choose to demand standards....then so be it, and more power to them.

It is possible that a level of sensible discourse can serve to save alot more lives.

Of course in my case, biting the tongue is not easy when there are those out there that support actions or inactions that will end up (in my opinion) hurting all of us later.
