Them, I can understand in a sense. However, "Non-cooperation with evil is as much a duty as is cooperation with good." as such they will be taken out given the warning.
"To believe in something, and not to live it, is dishonest. " With that I agree with you and as such am bound by my words. I do try for discourse but it seems even that can not be had.
The one they are helping and emulating I feel utter contempt for.
Hence here my post actually venting:
I am in shock. I officially have utter contempt now for an exchanger in gaia. I do truly apologize but this one has actually gotten on my more evil side.
First let me give you some background.
1 - AIR - The Anti-Inflation Revolution received quite a bit of join requests and as such I let them in. Feeling bad, I threw them a bone and re-vamped the ideas and lay-outs within. I know AIR is a subsidiary but back then it was pretty much cast off. So I am helping them out a bit.
2 - A known inflator, I let in. Why? Because I know that we do not know everything and a differing view might help.
My goal has been to expand the minds of newblings and gaians in general. Which is why my sales are geared to conditions and things they have to do, influencing the market is just the secondary goal. Well, tertiary because my primary goal is to have fun. The market right now just sucks, since I can't have a reasonable guarantee that the one I sell to won't screw me over and violate the trust and conditions of the sale. Which is pretty much why I am against inflation, because it is no fun when people are screwing each one over items.
Any way, back to my story. This guy, I let in. He mentions that he is a Catholic acting as the hand of God in destabilizing the market by rapidly inflating things. Where he will try to get much of the items and seclude himself with his faithful few to create a meritocracy society.
Here is the rub. In truth I think he is one of those who shows a mask of false piety for his own benefit much like many evangelicals out there.
The proof
The Inflator
Glad you PM'd me; the truth is right now I am not EXACTLY sure as to what my motives are. I am planning on more or less attempting to make a mockery of the market by creating a group who will eventually take over most of the donation and rare items in Gaia and from there I will begin my organization. Yes, Jesus blatantly attacked the marketplace and pulled people AWAY from capitalistic lives. Jesus also said "Render unto Ceaser what is Ceaser's and render unto God what is God's" which is why I am working within the rules. I am trying to control market prices for about a year; and within that year I plan to reap as many of the rare items as possible and completely seclude them from the market in the future. If you have any suggestions or things to talk about then please feel free to contact me again; what is it that you are interested in doing?
He is bullshitting as he goes by. That he does not even know what his motives are.
That is what makes me feel absolute contempt for him. To create this and be the supposed arrogant judge of merit.
"Increase of material comforts, it may be generally laid down, does not in any way whatsoever conduce to moral growth. " which is exactly what he is doing wrong. Propagating selfishness for his own indulgence, and even if he truly believes that what he is doing is right, it will not stop the other profiteers from ruining everything else.
I have a huge distaste for those that would assume the air of zeal and purity while creating havoc upon others. Especially one who would take relish in destroying people's dreams.I do apologize but I subscribe to this belief - "Intolerance is itself a form of violence and an obstacle to the growth of a true democratic spirit. " As such, I tend to allow people in to give a voice to what they think. Those that do not contribute and are known inflators I will definitely take off.
