MOBSTER ETHICS
Look, all you LIBERTARIAN KNUCKLEHEADS, here's your chance to prove your ideals.
"Word of the day" is something people like to read.
The New York Times (and many other newspapers) have a history of publishing such things because people LIKE them (like horoscopes).

It can't be considered "spam" to post a definition + a signature.
You don't expect a street-musician to hassle you when you throw a coin into their hat, it's no different with TAKING coins out of their hat.

Protesting without dialogue (with the sole intent to silence opposition) is harassment, not free speech.
I'm not a fan of ad hominem attacks, but I'm even less of a fan of censorship and retaliation.
Ad hominem attacks and air-horning your opponent are the tactics of FASCISM (dismantles open dialogue and civil debate).
Perhaps anarchy already exists and government is merely the highest manifestation of organized crime. – @thoughts-in-time

Your scathing critique is requested.
Tag @freebornangel, aren't you some sort of anti-SJW freedom-fighter (correct me if I'm mistaken)? I'm interested to know if you have an opinion on this matter. Do you think posting a "word of the day" blog qualifies as "spam"?
I am convinced that everyone knows in principle what "fair-play" means. If an older boy regularly fights with a younger and weaker one and he doesn't let the weaker one win every now and then, the younger boy won't want to play with him anymore.
If you don't take the trouble to look at a blogger's entire history once and downvote a low effort post on the basis of a spontaneous decision, you pretend to follow a spontaneous game, but you don't grant the other one a replay of the game, you just want to force him to put in more effort next time. There is also a general disinterest in the game, people distribute their votes on the basis of economic calculation, but not because they intend to play together.
So the stronger guys aren't really interested in fair play, they accept when the weaker guys turn away from the game and they also say: I'm not playing! This is serious business! They also say that you need a lot of participants and that the field should allow passive money-making. But someone who wants to do business passively and doesn't want to play says at the same time that he's not interested. Neither in the game nor in the business. He just wants others to be interested, wants others to make an effort, wants others to behave properly, and always in a way that is convenient for the passive earner.
He pretends to be active by distributing his votes and the more automatic this is, the better. He is also happy when others actively attack him, so he has the opportunity to continue to show actionism and fend off the attackers. He pretends to be interested in the game, but after a while it starts to annoy him that he has to invest so much time and energy when all he wants is passive income.
He resents those who also want passive income and punishes for the little effort shown. But then he calls this a necessary correction for the common good. But this generality always serves him only as a fulfillment for passive income. If he is the stronger boy, he can use his muscles for short-term muscle games, but it will eventually grow too much for him, because all he wants is to have his peace and quiet and to earn money passively. Until he gets bored again and pretends to play or do business again. And so on and so on.
If the weaker boy wants even one thing: passive income and he has no muscles, then he will try to attack the stronger one, but as soon as the stronger one doesn't let him win, he will leave. The game is no fun.
The war, which flares up and then dies away again and again because of such a mentality, is a copy of what we otherwise perceive. It is claimed that one is against the elites and the rich, but this claim is convicted of hypocrisy because one is imitating exactly what one claims to be evil.
Everyone notices this lack of fair play, but it is difficult to see the field.
Well stated.
True dat.
