I think we need a retroactive thread where we spend 8 or 9 pages re-evaluating 100%'s contributions from a more sympathetic perspective.
For example, was his calling Big Brother "shit" necessarily an insult? Maybe he meant that it was a fertilising agent in the psyche of the veiwers. Maybe by "you're all stupid" he was actually referring back to the original derivation of the word stupid from "stunned." What if he meant that the people discussing Big Brother were all stunning?
Then there's his choice of the 2000AD board to commence an "attack" on Barbelith. At the time, the Y2K meme still had legs, so to speak, with 2000 being identified closely with the Eschaton--the transcendant, the spiritual, the eternal instant of liberation from our worldly constraints. How else can we interpret "bringing down" (more properly drawing down) Barbelith(!!!) via "2000AD" but as a symbolic act of liberation and transcendance, the act of a veritable "Jack Frost"?
You can bask in your smug superiority if you like, having so easily SILENCED a fresh young voice with a trip behind the chemical sheds. Personally I'm going to track this guy down, see if he'll friend me on livejournal. I bet he'd like to join my astral dream warrior squad. |
