//////////////b-file #1////////////////
|
||
the code of the verbal warrior,or,
|
||
barney's bitch war manual
|
||
|
||
|
||
so you log onto a board and make a bee-line for your favorite
|
||
sub-board.some people love pirate boards,some people like phreak boards. my
|
||
passion is the trusty old standby,the bitch board.
|
||
|
||
so you get in the 'argument den', or 'discussion board',or'nuclear bitch-
|
||
fare'and start looking around for someone who you think you can out-rank.you
|
||
know,insult,cut down,and generally verbally abuse. and so you post,and,next
|
||
thing you know,somebody appears to hate your guts. you've got an enemy. now
|
||
what?
|
||
|
||
the main problem with 85% of all bitching that goes on on boards today, is
|
||
that people just don't know how to handle the answer to that question. now
|
||
what? do i keep it up? do i give up? do i insult his mother?
|
||
|
||
barney's bitch tip #1------- make up yor mind. either take the bitching
|
||
completely seriously,or do not take it seriously at all. if you find yourself
|
||
grinning at insults thrown at you by your opponent,then either cut it out
|
||
immediately,or try grinning even wider when you're typing your reply. the
|
||
benefit of this is that you can't be affected one way or the other by any thing
|
||
that your opponent says.if you're taking it seriously,then you just keep glaring
|
||
at your monitor,and remain determined to grind the little filth into submission.
|
||
if you're using the lighthearted approach,then it's pretty dif- ficult to get
|
||
annoyed by any kind of reference towards your mother/some chains/and the family
|
||
dog,because,remember,you're not taking this seriously!
|
||
|
||
barney's bitch tip #2-------- make damn well sure that you're not falling into
|
||
a trap. what's a trap? well,a trap is something that someone in a position of
|
||
power(usually a sysop) sets when he/she thinks you need to be 'put in your
|
||
place'. i could not tell you about this if i had not experienced it myself..so
|
||
learn from my own mistake --lord chaos,sysop of utopia bbs is not to be trusted.
|
||
probably no sysop who is under the age of 18 and starts their name with 'lord'
|
||
is to be trusted,but that's a different story. (nothing per- sonal,pat.) more
|
||
on traps later.
|
||
|
||
barney's bitch tip#3-------- to bitch effectively and with class, you need a
|
||
certain talent. you either have it or you don't,and that talent is the ability
|
||
to write. think of it this way-if you don't think that you could write
|
||
something like...well,let's see-well,something like a g-file,then chances are
|
||
you are going to be made to look rather silly. a general rule of thumb
|
||
concerning bitching is,the better the command of the english lan- guage,the
|
||
better the bitching. and i'm not talking about the infamous john- athan lewin
|
||
school of saturate-the- enemy-with-3.8-metric-tons-of-extreme- ly-long-words,but
|
||
rather the instinct to know when to be direct;ie-'so-and-so ,eat shit and
|
||
die',or to be a bit more clever like:'what does so-and-so and the male sex organ
|
||
have in common? they're both dicks!'. not the best ex- ample,but you should be
|
||
getting the point.
|
||
|
||
barney's bitch tip#4------- this is tied in with tip #3--well-pol- ished
|
||
writing skills are a must,but almost equally as important is the ab- ility to
|
||
spell. for myself,nothing assures me of victory more than seeing the misguided
|
||
fool who took me on spell like a romper room dropout. the most common screw
|
||
ups(and the most sick- ening) are along the lines of spelling you're,'your',and
|
||
other such blatant gaffes. 3 lines into a message and you can tell immediately
|
||
if you are deal- ing with an idiot. but,in the same vein ,be careful at how
|
||
quick you judge-- typing errors are different than spel- ling errors...even i
|
||
stopped editing my msgs.(except in real extreme cases) months ago. the key to
|
||
looking good when bitching is to know your oppon- ent's weaknesses. if spelling
|
||
is one, then exploit it mercilessly. but you'd better make damn well sure that
|
||
he doesn't catch you doing the same thing.
|
||
|
||
barney's bitch tip#5------- *the advantages and disadvantages of multiple
|
||
wars.*
|
||
|
||
when bitching with victory in mind,it is vital that you retain control in the
|
||
exchange-i.e.;make him respond to you more than you respond to him,get and stay
|
||
in the position where you can con- sistently talk down to your opponent, things
|
||
like that. control is the key. lose it,and you're in trouble. an efficient
|
||
way to keep control on your side,is,of course,thru having al- lies(if the
|
||
opponent is particularly tough). my word on this is as follows; when bringing
|
||
neutrals into a 1-on-1 war,you'd better make damn well sure who you're dealing
|
||
with,just as you should know the ins and outs of your opponent. bbs'ers are
|
||
fickle,fickle people. ------------------------- ------
|
||
|
||
the reason i underline this is because i can't possibly stress this enough.
|
||
in other words,a little paranoia never hurt anybody--trust practically no-one.
|
||
when assuming this attitude,you can save face if a verbal dagger flung from the
|
||
keyboard of a once-ally hap- pens to find its way to your back.
|
||
unfortunately,there's nothing much even the best bitcher can do when dealt odds
|
||
stacked by the bitchers most cov- ert enemy:the sysop. the sysop and the sysop
|
||
alone has the power to set the trap that no hi-egoed verbal soldier can escape
|
||
from...if he/she feels like it,the target could find himself facing;
|
||
mysteriously disappearing messages a strange and sudden lack of allies and,an
|
||
army of new opponents,never seen or heard of before.... these tactics,are,of
|
||
course,the trap that i referred to back in tip#2-- using this method,the sysop
|
||
and his cronies(the new opponents,a few of which are undoubtedly the sysop him-
|
||
self),once you,as the bitcher have taken up the false challenge,proceed to flood
|
||
the bitch board with messages ,and while yours mysteriously go bye- bye,wow!
|
||
you've 'lost'! it is this type of'loss'that is inesc- cpable. if you're good
|
||
enough,you can figure out the scam before you look too stupid,but your rep(if
|
||
you have one) is damaged.know your sysop like you would know your enemy! he may
|
||
be your enemy! --
|
||
|
||
barney's bitch tip#6--------- using the above methods,you should now be able
|
||
to definitively tell the class of your opponent. but you should also know the
|
||
class of the conflict you are in. in my experience,there are 3 types of
|
||
conflicts. **gee,barney,what are those 3 types?** well,i'm glad you asked
|
||
that-they are; discussions,arguments and wars
|
||
|
||
discussions usually are free of any hate(real or simulated),and usually center
|
||
around relatively minor topics. a good example of a discussion would be
|
||
something like;'does big business des- erve the millions of dollars damage we
|
||
hacks and phreaks cause it every week? well,we all know the answer to that,but
|
||
it's still a good example of a pot- ential discussion.
|
||
|
||
an argument is something like the clas- sic oct-nov '84 greek inn bbs election
|
||
discussion--is ronald reagan extremely dangerous or just incredibly stupid? as
|
||
you can tell,something like that is bound to bring about some strong verb-
|
||
age,but usually not directed against one specific user of the board from an-
|
||
other user.
|
||
|
||
wars are the exchanges where you find out such interesting things as'your mom
|
||
still owes me money for the 10 minutes of heaven i gave her last night',or,
|
||
'your dad told me to tell you that he can't find the whip,so you can't sleep
|
||
with him tonight',or similar 10-year- old level sickening drivel.when you hapen
|
||
onto a war like this,just do your best not to parachute down to the level that
|
||
most bitchers are on,and carry on in the tradition of wit,not shit.good,fun,and
|
||
funny wars have in- telligent bitchers. be one,don't just watch!
|
||
|
||
so that about ends this b-file #1-my personal war manual. hope you found it
|
||
ever-so-educational....look for fur- ther b-files in the coming weeks. oh, and
|
||
just so you know,these are the verbal warriors of chicago--the ones to beat;
|
||
|
||
myself,vid kidz,scarlet armadillo,rum runner,and radical rick. good day.
