Inala Oestya	Posted - 2007.10.25 10:25:00 - [1] As much as some people may disagree with the following observations, I stand firmly by them. By way of introduction, let me just say that at this point in the letter, I had planned to tell you that writing letters like this one has earned me more hate mail from Racketeers than you would care to hear about. However, one of my colleagues pointed out that it's about time it stopped claiming its short-sighted ideals were influenced by outside sources and just admitted it was wrong. Hence, I discarded the discourse I had previously prepared and substituted the following discussion, in which I argue that if Racketeers thinks that it can make me roll over and play dead, then it's barking up the wrong tree. Racketeers has been deluding people into believing that all any child needs is a big dose of television every day. Don't let it delude you, too. Racketeers does not want to desecrate religious objects because it is maladroit, effrontive, crapulous, and yellow-bellied (though, granted, Racketeers is all of the aforementioned), but rather because Racketeers seems to have recently added the word "hyperphosphorescence" to its otherwise simplistic vocabulary. I suppose it intends to use big words like that to obscure the fact that before it initiated a deconstructionism flap to help promote its unreasonable effusions, people everywhere were expected to spread the word about Racketeers's foul theatrics to our friends, our neighbors, our relatives, our co-workers -- even to strangers. Nowadays, it's the rare person indeed who realizes that it has certainly never given evidence of thinking extensively. Or at all, for that matter. Don't think we're not at war just because you're not stepping over dead bodies in the streets. We're at war with Racketeers's socially inept cop-outs. We're at war with its insecure analects. And we're at war with its careless bons mots. As in any war, we ought to be aware of the fact that Racketeers claims that it could do a gentler and fairer job of running the world than anyone else. Predictably, it cites no hard data for that claim. This is because no such data exist. At the same time, Racketeers will stop at nothing to create a mass psychology of fear about an imminent terrorist threat. This may sound outrageous, but if it were fiction I would have thought of something more credible. As it stands, time cannot change Racketeers's behavior. Time merely enlarges the field in which Racketeers can, with ever-increasing intensity and thoroughness, take advantage of human fallibility to change the course of history. Trapped by the cognitive dissonance engendered by hard evidence and common sense, Racketeers feels obligated to overthrow the government and eliminate the money system in a mindless attempt to justify its maneuvers. Contrary to my personal preferences, I'm thinking about what's best for all of us. My conclusion is that what's best for all of us is for me to improve the living conditions of the most vulnerable in our society -- the sick, the old, the disabled, the unemployed, and our youth -- all of whose lives are made miserable by Racketeers. Not to belabor the point, but Racketeers has a knack for convincing self-aggrandizing caitiffs that everything is happy and fine and good. That's called marketing. The underlying trick is to use sesquipedalian terms like "roentgenographically" and "anatomicophysiologic" to keep its sales pitch from sounding reprehensible. That's why you really have to look hard to see that bloody-minded nabobs of irrationalism are more susceptible to Racketeers's brainwashing tactics than are any other group. Like water, their minds take the form of whatever receptacle it puts them in. They then lose all recollection that conventional wisdom states that my number one priority is to make technical preparations for the achievement of freedom and human independence.
Der Prophet Minmatar	Posted - 2007.10.25 10:25:00 - [2] (Cont.) In view of that, it is not surprising that many people are shocked when I tell them that Racketeers's encomiasts get so hypnotized by its simplistic "good guys and bad guys" approach to history that they do not hear what it is really saying. And I'm shocked that so many people are shocked. You see, I had thought everybody already knew that one of its flunkies keeps throwing "scientific" studies at me, claiming they prove that every word that leaves Racketeers's mouth is teeming with useful information. The studies are full of "if"s, "possible"s, "maybe"s, and various exceptions and admissions of their limitations. This leaves the studies inconclusive at best and works of fiction at worst. The only thing these studies can possibly prove is that if everyone does his own, small part, together we can bring the communion of knowledge to all of us. To be blunt, you may be worried that Racketeers will steal the fruits of other people's labor by next weekend. If so, then I share your misgivings. But let's not worry about that now. Instead, let's discuss my observation that Racketeers's strictures are based on hate. Hate, totalitarianism, and an intolerance of another viewpoint, another way of life. Wherever you look, you'll see Racketeers enforcing intolerance in the name of tolerance. You'll see it suppressing freedom in the name of freedom. And you'll see it crushing diversity of opinion in the name of diversity. I believe I have finally figured out what makes organizations like Racketeers make my blood curdle. It appears to be a combination of an overactive mind, lack of common sense, assurance of one's own moral propriety, and a total lack of exposure to the real world. For all intents and purposes, Racketeers argues that I am contemptible for wanting to build a world overflowing with compassion and tolerance. I should point out that this is almost the same argument that was made against Copernicus and Galileo almost half a millennium ago. There is one final irony to my story. Racketeers's protests are a veritable dictionary and synonymicon of insurrectionism. Strike from the back. (>o_o)>^(X_X)^

Rutefly Amarr Freedom-Technologies	Posted - 2007.10.25 10:47:00 - [5] Mercs hired by isk-sellers i dunno. Its hard to spot the motivation behind racketeers. But thats just like RL. Not many ppl make sense. Just move one.

Originally by: Rutefly Its hard to spot the motivation behind racketeers. Not really. They're trying to be the next big thing and are falling flat on their faces. _

Originally by: Rutefly Its hard to spot the motivation behind racketeers. Not really. They're trying to be the next big thing and are falling flat on their faces. I don't think so.. I believe they are here doing what they do because they can and they find it enjoyable. Just a game they play in a way they like not caring one damned bit about what I or any body else thinks about their methods or actions. And tbh.. I can't be bothered wasting time and energy ranting about peoples actions in a damn game.. Let them do wth they want.

Cruthensis Gallente Farmer Killers United Corporations Against Macros	Posted - 2007.10.25 11:45:00 - [12] Someone entered 'Racketeers' as the variable in a complaint generator - hence the somewhat rambling, disjointed and directionless prose and occasionally inappropriate pronoun or verb. (clickedy click surely?)
Der Prophet Minmatar	Posted - 2007.10.25 11:54:00 - [13] Within the compass of this letter, I can do no more than indicate, as concisely as I can, relevant considerations that must be taken into account if we are to discuss Mr. Dreacon Nass's pesky subliminal psywar campaigns in a rational manner. Let's review the errors in Dreacon's statements in order. First, Dreacon's roorbacks have nothing to do with freedom and honor but everything to do with wowserism. Mr. Dreacon Nass has no moral qualities whatsoever. That is why, come what may, we must protect the interests of the general public against the greed and unreason of rebarbative witlings. Strike from the back. (>o_o)>^(X_X)^

Lavraen Minmatar Highwaymen	Posted - 2007.10.25 13:31:00 - [16] Amarr roleplayer corp? I think this is the guy that posted a "sermon" on his corp website awhile back when RAK decced them originally. It was a voice recording in mp3 format and we piped through vent for some laughs. Sounds all a bit Terence McKenna if you ask me... lay off the Acid... And one thing I will say is, before I depart... get away from me you Scientologist freak!!!! Ah! I feel better now. Lavraen

Julien makka	Posted - 2007.10.25 15:18:00 - [18] Edited by: Julien makka on 25/10/2007 15:22:36 Summary: Racketeers got on your path and you didn't like it. You cry on the forums (This is infact a whine post) and you advertise moral superiority. Originally by: Der Prophet I believe I have finally figured out what makes organizations like Racketeers make my blood curdle. It appears to be a combination of an overactive mind, lack of common sense, assurance of one's own moral propriety, and a total lack of exposure to the real world. Haha. I believe this part applies more to you than to us. One who feels the need to post such extensive whining about a corp which operates within the rules of the game, that you seem to care so much about (If you didn't, you wouldn't cry this loud), definately needs to see the outside a little more. ItÆs a game, and the fact that you even dare to make guesses about our morals and common sense based on behaviour in a game, makes me wonder if you confuse the real word with this game a little too much. I feel sorry for you. Really, I do. Originally by: Der Prophet For all intents and purposes, Racketeers argues that I am contemptible for wanting to build a world overflowing with compassion and tolerance. Errr, yeah. Im guessing you just made this up to add more ôflavourö to your post, and giving you a way to expand your own ego by comparing yourself to Copernicus and Galileo. Lol? Originally by: Der Prophet Instead, let's discuss my observation that Racketeers's strictures are based on hate. Hate, totalitarianism, and an intolerance of another viewpoint, another way of life. I find this funny, because you couldn't have been more wrong. I've been in the corp for no more than 2 weeks, and I allready got decent understanding of what makes their engines run. Seeing ships go kaboom. People who like to see ships blow up, are more than welcome to join racketeers. A "common goal", just like any other miner/pirate hunter/mercenary corp. In no way is this connected to hate, totalitarianism (hahaha, no. just no.) or intolerance. Hint: Fancy words don't give the context more value. In fact, overdoing it like this will cause people to ridicule you. A decent layout of your post would've made a much better impression.

It's a randomly generated complaint letter off of some website. Probably created by a Racketeer himself. One of us equals many of us. Disrespect one of us, you'll see plenty of us. - Guru
Julien makka	Posted - 2007.10.25 15:39:00 - [21] Edited by: Julien makka on 25/10/2007 15:41:17 I realised that halfway, yes. I still felt the need to stomp that post into the ground. Edit: If this was posted by a racketeer, I'll make sure his new nickname will be idiot.

fieht ero	Posted - 2007.10.25 18:03:00 - [23] I happen to like the fact that rackateers go about griefing people in high sec. It rocks! I happen to dislike the fact that they are full of angsty teens trying to make up thier lack of real life interpersonal skills with mouths bigger than thier brains. Half way to being a good corp aint bad. Prove its true guys.

I stopped reading. There's a worthy principle for you to grasp; its "KISS" or Keep It Simple Stupid. Short, concise, and to the point. If you can rewrite your your post to do away with the flowery lack of content, I'll read it. EDIT I just read about the random whine generator that fills out a forum post when you insert a name like "Racketeers." My mistake for not reading. =p
