	I have heard that people have been picking on Crahn for my postings.
This only strengthens my position that [most] people on IRC should turn
off their computer and take up something more suited for them.  Perhaps
testing plastic forks would be a better profession.  Well, anyway, I post
like this because you people piss me off.  Number one, you are being very
useless by spending ALL of your time on IRC and doing nothing else.  So
basically, this leads me to question your intelligence.  

	These things are more of a slap in the face in the first place.  You
are all worthy of being real people if you try.  Right now, your pathetic
existance is somewhat important to me because in order for this tiny little
race of humans to advance, we need to start taking a few things into
perspective.

	I suppose you think I'm a really nasty guy.  I couldn't really care
less.  But what I want you people to actually do is start looking around you.
Start questioning your beliefs.  Are YOU deciding for YOURSELF that something
is acceptable for society, or is the MEDIA?  Even non-Americans, which I
admit, you have more freedom of thought than we, should always question what you
believe.  I mentioned that "Men are Superior to Women".  Of course, that was
posted as an example, but many of you people got very pissed off (and I know
it isn't just limited to women).  WHY did you get pissed?  For thousands of
years, women have been submissive creatures to men.   Didn't piss them off THEN.
My personal belief, if it makes you feel any better, is that men are better than
women in some ways, and the reciprocal.  And marriage, which is the bonding, is
the merging of two minds (to coin a generic term for something we don't under-
stand) to make a more perfect whole.  Of course, or society doesn't do that now.
Why?  Oh well, what a shame.

	As far as rap goes?  I hate rap.  Fine, I hate rap.  Kill me?  Maybe.
Some will.  Anyway, I'm not afraid to not like it.  And you can bet some
African Americans have given me some less than pleasurable looks about it.

	While I'm at it, I should give you my view about abortion, just to
fill my flame-box.  I'm pro-life.  Ha, yes... I admit it!  Wow, it really
feels good to let this out.  Why am I pro-life?  Well I just blindly accept
a republican view.  No, no... wait... I am pro-life because we don't really
know WHEN that fetus becomes human, and that very fact that we COULD be
destroying life should be more than enough to stop the actions.

	Well, anyway... I really hope you people do lighten up and look around.
You may have to squint a little... a lot of you are pretty lost in IRC.  Sure,
it is somewhat of a micro-society, but really -- /kill?  Get real.  If you
take offense to that, perhaps you better seek professional help.

	If you have taken the time to read this article, than about right
now, I suspect you are probably thinking, "Oh this guy never hangs around
on IRC anyway so he doesn't understand."  I consider myself to the point
of saturation.  I had lost myself in MUD and MUSE and IRC for a while too.
No one is immune.  But I learned from my experience the dangers of such a
system.  The eliteness evolves (IRCop, Wizard, Director... name them what
you will) and a false sense of power is created.

	So, ask yourselves THIS question for me:

		What would I do if IRC were to go down forever?


AND AGAIN, I STRESS THAT I AM NOT CRAHN.  I AM ALLEN.  I KNOW SOME OF YOU
RATHER WELL, AND I LIKE A LOT OF YOU.  BUT I DISLIKE A VERY LARGE AMOUNT
OF YOU.

	You have infinte potential.  Explore it.
