That's an interesting idea.Hanslune wrote:Bull-baiting
You may remember this blood sport from centuries past.
I would suggest that Quatloos reinstate this form of entertainment.
I recommend Scott Duncan be chained by the leg to a stake in a pit and Menard, Johnson, Clifford and others be thrown into said pit and we should then watch them throw liens at one another, hefty fee schedules and the odd notices of mistake.
It would be horrid and funny at the same time.....
Every once in while competing gurus show up at the same freedom fest/speakers/forum. Since each successful guru has his/her own spin and theory each guru has to make the decision as to whether he is going to be critical the other guru's theory or just pretend their idea is better.
Menard and Clifford were at the same Vancouver freeman conference a few months before Dean's arrest. Dean took his usual furious approach to the powers that be only to be followed by Menard who said he was fond of Dean but just didn't like his angry ways. It ended up with neither landing a glove on the other.
We know that Menard and Belanger don't get along with the latter portraying the former's different theories as "lies".
Menard has been called out a couple of times by Brian Alexander who says the C3PO is bunk.
Just about every guru has a problem with Ben Lowery since he doesn't have any problem with pointing out that freeman theories just don't work in the real world. Doing so breaks the unspoken freeman prime directive that gurus shouldn't point out the insanity of the other guru's theories since doing so might lead to the questioning of one's own theory.
Likewise gurus aren't supposed to point out the instances in which the practitioners of another guru's methods end up jailed or fined. The standard line used at the failure of a freeman theory is that the powers that be and the courts are hopelessly corrupt and as such were forced to slap a jail term or fine on the freeman in question inorder throw a scare into the rest of freemandia. Any freeman, or freeman-lite who points out that a particular theory has failed several times is branded a cowardly shill.
Inexplicably a few freemen like Eldon Warman and Robert Menard have made the colossal marketing error of blaming the failure of their theory on practitioners who it is said "didn't do it right". Peter of England has recently made this error saying that WeRe bank checks bounce because many of his clients didn't know how to properly fill out a check. This just plain nuts, even by freeman logic, because all the gurus need do is blame the powers that be for the failure. Dissing the clients is disaster for freeman gurus since most of their followers became freemen or freewomen in reaction to a mainstream society they see as hypercritical and controlling in the first place!
As we have noted before many freeman gurus are self-distructive and as such end up sliding down the slag heap of the freeman subculture only to be replaced by another guru.
This fall is what we are seeing in the cases of Dean and Bobby.
