			   Destruction on the Internet
			   ---------------------------


	Being a 7 year vetran of IRC, and BBS's before that, I have seen 
the many faces people can take on the internet.  The internet is a lovely 
place.  The Mentor wrote many years ago about "We exist without skin 
color, without nationality, without religious bias...".  Well?  I think 
he was right.. in his time.  Times change.  We now have IRC Network bias, 
nickname discrimination, and digital citizens that would rather do 
nothing but destroy.  It is these that I feel have disgraced the words of 
The Mentor.  
	Many times have I read articles speaking of children with huge   
egos that feel destroying or damaging is a form of superiority.  "I can 
packet you", "You won't be able to get online and you will think I am  
great."  I think you've got it wrong.  The only ones that think your 
great, is... well.. 
	I will not praise you for your "great" packeting abilities.  I 
never will.  I will not praise you for your "great" ability to destroy.  
Why would I?  You are destructive.  Packeting is destructive.  It 
destroys the connectivity many people rely on for day to day 
communications.  It severs the crucial link businesses depend on.  You 
packet stupid stuff like IRC networks even.  This is a FREE service.  
People donate hardware and bandwidth so ANYONE can chat freely!  So why 
do you destroy it?  That is the same as me tearing out a 50 foot chunk of 
street right in front of your house just because I don't like you.  
	I can't understand it.  Are you kids looking for praise?  I'll 
give you praise when you do something worthy of it.  Make something 
beautiful.  Make something useful.  You people write code that has 
1000x the potential its being used for.  Lets use packeting bots for  
example.  You code slave bots.  Distribute them.  The more the better 
correct? And all these bots are set to respond to their master.  You.   
Say you distribute 50, 100, 500, 1000 bots.  You can really hold down 
some hardcore bandwidth.  Right?  You've also just built a scalable 
master/slave infrastructure that is capable of mass distribution of a 
message or any other media with the proper revisions.  Then you can 
copyrite YOUR technology, and make millions off of it.  
	Of course, you'll be forced out of business after the first year.  
See, one of your customers (13) posted content that took on the face of a 
political message.  Someone not liking that message packets key elements 
of your network for 4 months straight.  Not being able to stop it, you 
can't charge for a service that isn't working.  No income means no money 
to pay bills, suddenly you join the rest on fuckedcompany.com.  Fate is 
funny like that sometimes.
