Sun Tzu and Machiavelli had some pretty good advice on how to stomp every RTS game you may ever play into one star challenge oblivion with their books, but recently I've been inspired to write something of my own in regard to their idea.
Most recently YTMND (boo, hiss) and eBaums world (who?) got into a heated electronic scuffle over who could get more creative with their criticism of each other. This war of cyber wits was very interesting, in that either side we're from their own opposite extreme as far as how they would react socially to the incident.
I'll break down YTMND first. Trust me, there's more to them than a bunch of socially starved birth control spokesmen. Not much though.
On their end, an avid fan of YTMND realized that eBaumsworld.com had posted YTMND official intellectual (?) property on the eBaumsworld website. Choosing not too cut and past lindsey lohans head to a picture of his mother showering, that fan immediately delivered the news to his gathering of like minded morons. Having never been so insulted in all their lives, stock in mountain dew plumetted as they were too busy spending valuable hours of their lives opting to purchase pride in crashing the eBaumsworld forum. Having accomplished that, they left a trail of death threats, and had achieved dot com induced euphoric confidence in themselves. Apparently the over anxious minds that chose to threaten lives from the security of their parents basement didn't realize that Eric Bauman was rich, and we all know what happens when you threaten a rich person.
On the eBaums side of the extreme, we have Eric Bauman the creator of eBaumsworld, and that's about all he ever amounted to in this. Then we have his beloved dad, Neil Bauman. If there was ever a human being who could send white people back a thousand years socially, it's this guy. Having heard the erroneous threats of a bunch of dorks who would piss themselves if you handed them a chainsaw with no teeth, Neil Bauman decided to take them seriously enough to get the cyber terrorism squad after them. Indeed, we're paying taxes that support a squad that stops the brain farts of a bunch of twelve year olds because Neil Bauman wants to show them why you never mess with Neil Bauman. Neil, if you're reading this; insults to a child with no ability to comprehend your right to an arguement, is like a solution for social security that would have to be proposed to congress while it has a republican majority. Either way, you'll get an idiotic arguement back. Crashing the forums was going a little too far, insulting the founder of YTMND in response to it when he had nothing to do with that is going a little farther.
In conclusion.
One side is the white collar over zealous patriarchal leach who instead of getting serious sank to the level of bickering that only the security of it just being words on a screen could provide, Neil Bauman. I type all of that knowing that I basically apply to most of it, you know I love you Neil.
The other side is the bottom feeding mongrels who are either very lonely men, or women who men have to be the epitome of lonely to want to touch with a ten foot pole. Part of a collective of dreamers who found their niche in this world by posting pun related pictures on a website, and forgot that long enough to care about another website making money off of content that was obtained by them legally. Symbolically, I'd have to thank the whiney 16 year old who Gamespot gives trouble when he tries to purchase "the guy game" for giving me a frame of reference on the proud to be forum crashers that started the mess.
As I see them occur, I'll probably be ammending s'more chapters of cyber warfare strategies in here.
