Journal SatanicPuppy's Journal: Purpose of the Foe list 2

I use it as a heads up.

You're readin along, and the guy starts spouting stupid junk, and you look up and see he's on yer foe list, and think to yourself, "Oh yea, he's a jackass" and move on.

Otherwise you're left wondering if this jackass seems familiar or not...Precious time could be lost while you try and figure out which of you is crazy. If you've FOE'd him, then you're reminding yourself you've already been through this process, and the conclusion was: It's him.

Kinda like the opposite of the Friends list, which is used to mark people who are less crazy than you, or at least crazy in a more constructive way.

Then there is the fan list, which is scary because these are people who don't think YOU'RE crazy, which could be bad if THEY'RE crazy, because then you have to wonder if you ARE crazy.

Then there is the Freak list...if the people on your freak list aren't jackasses and trolls, then the bad news is: It's you.

  • :) Heh, I have a nice number of foes. I usually get a few additions to both lists when I post a rational statement on religious superstition.
    • They have no sense of humor. They get so tied up in what they "know" that they defend it fanatically whenever someone makes a statement which even slightly deviates from what they "know" to be the case. That kind of mental obtsinance makes my teeth hurt.

      I'm an agnostic myself, which leaves me plenty of room to piss off the irrational on both sides of the debate.

I tell them to turn to the study of mathematics, for it is only there that they might escape the lusts of the flesh. -- Thomas Mann, "The Magic Mountain"
