- Hi there!
-
- The above message contains some, hmm, not very parliamentary expressions,
- so, if a coarse speech of a warrior may offend you, do not read below the
- line.

-
- I've been studying the Mudlu/Argiq issue for some time involuntarily,
- because some naive people still argue with the insane postings of the wimp
- (group of wimps? wimp-controlled junkmailing device?) and too often
- I have to read their postings with quotations from that filthy Argiq
- stuff.
-
- A R G I C _is_ a problem that must be dealt with because:
-
- 1. The amount of its postings is immense: sometimes they constitute
- _m_o_r_e___t_h_a_n____a____h_a_l_f of the daily mail in
- soc.culture.soviet, for instance.
-
- 2. 99.99% of these postings are _g_e_n_e_r_a_t_e_d_ with no human influence:
- some program scans the mail for references to Turqey, Armaenia, genocyde,
- the dear Argiq entity itself etc. and then creates "answers" using the
- once-and-forever-set scheme:
- "you said this"
- <insult>
- <1000th reprint of the same bloody article>
- I have misspelled all Argiq-baits, so probably this letter will be
- unanswered.
- If there are no Argiq-baits, the messages are generated as new postings.
-
- 3. I speak nothing about the contents of the articles, but Dr. Goebbels
- would like at least the style of Argiq presentation of materials.
-
- 4. There is no mail link back to Argiq, so it gets nothing that it deserves.
-
-
- The abovementioned facts make me consider the presense of ARGIQ entity on
- the net as a sacrifice of the right for freedom speech of, maybe, thousands
- of PEOPLE for the sake of maintaining this right for one dumb mailing ROBOT.
-
- ARGIQ postings _do_ endanger the right for freedom of speech. They erode the
- newsgroups (as it was already mentioned by somebody); you cannot answer
- back to ARGIQ; if you are a college student with not enough priority to
- run your own killfile, you have to dig through _tons_ of Argiq crap in
- order to read something meaningful in many areas.
-
- If somebody tells you, "All right, you have the freedom of speech, you can
- say what you want and read what you want, but all the time you'll be
- doing this I'll be shitting on your head," you will definitely give away
- the freedom of speech to keep your head out of shit, and though no violence
- is involved and all choices are free, you will be SHUT UP.
-
- I don't want to. Especially by a cowardly ROBOT. Hope you don't like
- the opportunity either. So let's do something with that net bain, for
- it is said, "Thou shalt suffer not a wimp on the net to live!" :@)
