The Tender For Law

English Only

ENGLISH is the international language of law and commerce. Knowing FRENCH is useful for understanding LEGAL ENGLISH, but FRENCH is not the international language of law and commerce, so we will ignore French speakers who speak to us in the language of a conquered people.

Non.

I understand that you are a proud Québécois, but the people here have nothing but contempt for you because of decades of transfer payments and NONE OF YOU understanding what Quebec sovereignty means. None of you know who Russell Rogers Smith is, and you're too proud and arrogant to teach. Just go away and be Retardier somewhere else.

Daniel J Wentz I just finished listening to a phonecall Scott made to one of his "friends". All of our communications are run on an overlay network, and we can listen in on any call that goes in/out of the network. It also makes it easy to spot if any of us is in trouble. I've known Scott for over 30 years. I am ashamed to admit I was once one of the people who thought he was crazy. 10 years later, I find he just sees more than you and I. You should hear how stupid I sound regarding the internet, 20 years ago. He plays it for me, and sometimes makes it my voicemail message, just to be a dick. It's Scott. He does that, and I guess I earned it. Now I'm noticing an ugly trend. Others who branded him with the "crazy" label, are now coming to him and saying "you were right". I wouldn't mention it, but they seem to expect him to provide answers for them. I have a problem with that. I also have another problem. I was listening to this casual call, and when the subject got serious, I noticed a "COP" technique from this "friend". It is commonly known as "distract and deflect". I'm hearing that too many times these days as well. Some of us miss the good old days when Scott was in charge of everything, and many objected when he "tossed me the keys to the kingdom" when I assumed the chairman role at NX2000, so he could actually live a little. Some of us still feel that way. We've all learned from this extraordinary man, and now he's becoming an extraordinarily angry man. That never works out well. Enough. I don't have the finely honed "cop detector" instinct that Scott has, but I also don't like the feeling I get when my "lesser" version goes off. Lead, follow or get out of the way. Don't interfere with your uninformed opinions about the Admiral. If you don't like/agree close your browser and stop reading. If you've suddenly realized that you have done this in the past and real life has shown you are wrong, we don't care. Lead Follow or stay out of our way.

Profound as usual.

Further to your point, I became disenchanted with the name calling and ad hominem attacks years ago. The fact that it continues to this day is both wrong, and highly insulting to Scott, his friends, associates and loved-ones (who would also, by association, be considered to have taken leave of their senses). The bulemic aspects of human nature that allow people to believe you can shun someone for any number of reasons, and then return days, weeks, years later for free "enlightenment" continues to astound.

This costs you nothing. Scott has, as always, devoted his personal time and resources to this initiative. If you merely stand back and watch as he is berated and attacked, you are wasting your time, my time, and enabling the agenda of idiots. And if you come back, years later, hat in hand, what could you possibly have to offer in return?

Lead, follow or get out of our way is a bit too much like the plot of Idiocracy. For the 300th time, lead, follow, or get the fuck behind him and push. If you can't manage that, I have a button here that will help you get out of our way.
