My thoughts on the latest SUP . . . thing.

First, I don't think the one-day boycott with accomplish anything. Nonetheless, I will be participating, out of respect to beckyzoole, who called it. Also, because I'll be at Purim celebrations anyway.

I was going to write a post about how it was always a good idea to look at things from other people's point of view, and we should look at how this whole thing appeared from Anton Nosik's point of view, about why he feels like HE'S being victimized, about why he feels he's being bullied, and what that says about him and his mindset, about what is in his mind, and how this should influence how we approach him.

Then I re-read his interview, and said, "Fuck it. He's just an asshole."

i don't think it will acomplish anything either, _because_ he's acting like an asshole (and i took a while to come to the latter conclusion as well).

but the point of basic accounts providing a lot of content is valid, and i'd really like to see a spike in the traffic reports, which is why i am participating.

Though, as this post points out, Mr. Nosik is not actually "director" of anything. So it's not at all clear how much his attitudes and so forth will hold for the people making the decisions.

The post also has some other interesting points, though, which is why I linked to it.
