That act was on par with some of the larger atrocities in history, T. square, hollocaust even the B-bombs. Not because of bloodshed. But for the sheer lack of humanity involved in the act.
Last I checked, we didn't suppress unarmed, nonviolent protesters with gunfire and tanks because they weren't big on Communism.
Last I checked, we didn't explode packed discos in Tel Aviv because we believed the Jews were squatters on our turf.
Last I checked, we didn't herd people into boxcars to be funneled into ovens because a house painter with a funny mustache believed that they were the reason he was poor, shiftless, and couldn't get laid by blonde women.
No matter what you may think about the funeral, comparing its perpetrators in proportion -- that means in sheer scale of disaster, and by implication BLOODSHED, and BODY COUNT -- to the perpetrators of the acts described above is stupidity beyond words. If that was not the logic you meant to imply, you chose your words poorly at best.
It was a childish thing to do, yes. Perhaps I've simply been jaded by seeing many more, equally immature acts of e-terror perpetuated on the Internet, and have lost what society would consider a normal perspective on electronic memorial disruption. But comparing a bunch of chuckleheaded twenty-somethings behind keyboards with headsets to the greatest mass murderers in the history of man -- that's messed the fuck up.
I wasn't even at the damn funeral and I still get tells every fucking time I boot the game up from self-appointed crusaders of justice about what a horrible human being I am. It's like people believe they can make up for the fact that they can't yell at Hitler, or Stalin, or the imperial Japanese of World War II, or the 9/11 hijackers about the far more heinous things THEY did because
I'm only a /w away. At times I find it amusing, but now I'm mostly fed up with it. I am not an accessory to e-murder. I am not an apologist for a bunch of amoral punks on the Internet. My name is Benjamin Reed, and I play a goddamned video game.
Now get the fuck over it.
