RE: FLAG WARS - Where "might makes right" continues to rule
It was a simple analogy... You WOULD take the tip off the table. Everyone in the restaurant got serviced equally, some of us were happy with it and some were not. Those who were happy left big tips, those who were not STOLE THE TIPS off the table. They could choose to NOT tip, but they take the tips off the table. And I just checked out your blog, you and I are pretty much on the same page about SO many things... I am done fighting with you over this. You can feel OK with taking my vote back, but I feel like you stole it when you do. Peace, out.
A simple analogy that treated the concept of infinite as finite, so it's a false analogy as it doesn't describe the situation or elucidate what is happening better than simply explaining the situation technically.
You have an endless machine that prints vouchers for votes. If you fold the voucher in half it basically counts as a downvote.. etc etc etc. No theft, no stealing, no essentializing.
Nobody "took your vote back" nobody stole your voice and indeed his abuse affects everyone, those money come from the communal pot that runeth over, which he's wheelbarrowed out because he "deserves" obscene amounts of wealth. We are not on the same page, we are not in the same building.
