"just"? Sorry no Well, yeah, kind of... rapist sociopath Hey, geeze. People were talking about plagiarism over here, why'd you have to bring up the "R" word! There's kids on this site for christ sake! Seriously though, this really is just a lot of drama going on. On the internet, no less. Quotes like this come to mind: Build your cities on the slopes of Vesuvius.

> Hey, geeze. People were talking about plagiarism over here, why'd you have to bring up the "R" word! But that's the thing, they're just claiming it, then falling silent when asked for anything of substance. They are NOT talking about it, just "sprinkling it in there". > Build your cities on the slopes of Vesuvius. Right. And I guess you can apply this whenever you want. Whenever there is something YOU don't mind, "they were asking for it". Of course, you're making a new account just to reply with replies that essentially have no real content other than "I don't care". Get over it, there are people on the internet who do care, who simply either actually ignore things or interact with them seriously. And looking at my posts and your replies to it, the fact that you made a throwaway for it, and the wider context of that snippet, I'd say, don't tell me that... > The secret of realizing the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment of existence is: to live dangerously! Build your cities on the slopes of Vesuvius! Send your ships out into uncharted seas! Live in conflict with your equals and with yourselves! Be robbers and ravagers as soon as you can not be rulers and owners, you men of knowledge! The time will soon past when you could be content to live concealed int he woods like timid deer! So, where are the peers criticizing each other without flinching? Where is the struggle among peers? This is a joke. You can quote Nietzsche like wearing a hat, but I'm not sure you even see the shoes of what you quote, much less filling them.

  If the internet is a volcano, then any cult of personality built thereupon is the Pompeii in this here allegory. Sieze the day for now, and get what you can from it, but the internet has never been an uncomplicated and sleepy, snow-capped mountain retreat. And no one is buying into the sexual aspects of this shit show (which it definitely is), certainly not rape. There are some painfully obvious reasons why any rape allegation is just beyond silly in this scenario. Like, rape is a one-way street, man.

    > And no one is buying into the sexual aspects of this shit show Yeah, but that it's attempted is bad enough, and how that is shrugged off I find creepy. Search for "appelbaum" on reddit and sort by date, go back to the beginning, you don't even have to count to see it's kind of a blitz. It has 0 comments in most subs, and not a whole lot response elsewhere, most people are skeptical or dislike the site, etc... but some people are trying REALLY hard regardless. It was on a lot of news sites, too, though that wasn't as easy to "measure" so I didn't bother. But reddit? Super weird. And I think letting that slide is a shit precedent. I'm not that gullible to be shamed by these stories, even if they and worse are true, into going with "it's just a bunch of people sharing their story about this horrible person". Everyone involved pretends it's just something that "happens", instead of something a lot of people do. That's something we all have in front of us, there is so much we do not have to guess about at all, and even that isn't properly discussed. But you know, FWIW I'm happy now, because finally an adult spoke up: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11851888 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11851888
