The Invincibility of the Mindless Few

Day 1,206, 03:53 Published in Japan Ireland by Hitoshi Makoto

Yesterday, I was pleasantly surprised to receive a letter from Alfred Ball. Essentially, it was a calm, civil letter which translated to me as a diplomatic request for peace. Of course, whenever I am approached with courtesy and diplomacy by people with an open mind, I reciprocate. Hence Alfred and I, at least in my books, are cool for the time being.

The same peace DOES NOT translate to his childish associates: FriedRice and Fruitcommando. Both have essentially been involved in a puerile vandalism of my identity. In the name of free press, I did not report it. I should have, but I did not. If you want to see the trash for yourself, read it. Just don't be surprised to be insulted by it, especially if you have a triple-digit IQ. Now, I have pardoned FriedRice to an extant in my own mind, as he was doing some roleplaying sh*t. That's fine, and he kept it to a degree where it was childish and insulting; but not over the top nonsense.

That being said, I think it's time for Alfred, or whomever is in charge of this movement or is close to Fruitcommando; to sit down with him and explain the integrity of the media and why what he did was below the standards of what would constitute good reporting.
I am willing to bet his vote count was used as a variety of things (either to make me say something contradictory or merely as the amusement of many). However, using an avatar effigy of me is the work of thirteen-year-old children with mild Photoshop or (more likely) Microsoft Paint skills.

Simply put, adolescent bullying (as this was) shall not be stood for. If you will attack me, attack me on the weakness of my arguments or the questionability of my past. Do NOT do what he did. ONLY through mutual respect and dignity can a society move alone, or else we resort to being children (which I hope and believe many of you are NOT).

If you are to take anything away from this, let it be this. I will stand for roleplaying games without my consent. I won't like it, but I will stand it. However, I will take EVERY MEASURE possible to stem and root out every instance of childish vandalism as Fruitcommando's until every person like him has their newspaper banned, or until they stop.
It is as my mother said I was growing up in O***w*, Canada. "If you want to be treated like an adult, act like an adult." As an adult now, I repeat these words to my contemporaries.

As for people like Alfred Ball, we need more of them. We need those people willing to sit down with an open mind and discuss a way out of conflict and hatred. There is only one way for those who support the JDM and those who support the other sects of eJapan to get along in peace. This is through the word of the mouth, and the diplomatic discourse between the two parties. There is no benefit to widening the gap, other than the amusement of adolescents. Don't let our beloved nation come to that.
