Two-face Adok: an open reply to his blogpost

category: residue [glöplog]
There's something nice to read here! Adok's latest article about the demoscene, it's in german. Please google translate it yourself, it's worthwile.

Here's some extracts from there: He makes a reference to a well-known former german organizier of the largest, demoscene-only, german demoparty, who is also an entrepeneur of a successfull company building internet routers. We all know who scamp is. Well in Adok's blog post, he publicly calls him real stupid, I quote:
Quote:
Im persönlichen Umgang hatte ich jedoch eher den Eindruck, dass er ziemlich dumm ist.
Funny to see him writing that, because some months ago, here I mentioned that he complained about the same thing:
Quote:
This person dared to call me "a complete idiot" on an Internet forum!!

In my opinion, this is a hypocrital, two-faced attitude.

In the rest of his article, he goes back to categorizing the members of the demoscene as a "not so intelligent" group of people, and ends it with this open question:
Quote:
Die wichtigste Frage ist wohl, ob normale Menschen eher den Demoszenern ähnlich oder doch anders, etwa freundlicher, sind. Darauf weiß ich in Ermangelung an einschlägigen Erfahrungen noch keine Antwort.

Roughly translated, he asks if normal people resemble the demosceners or if they're a bit nicer. He knows no answer to that question because of a personal lack of relevant experiences.

Well let me try to answer that question. When I go to demoparties I am surrounded by a colourful mix of all kinds of people, normal and weird all the same, but most of them are all friendly. Like in every society, there're exceptions, the demoscene is no different.
When someone wants to join the community, there's absolutely no difference if they come as a complete newbie, or if they assist demoparties for 5 years in a row without having even coded a single entry, or if they have made a killer entry or tool. Everyone is not initially judged by their skill but by their personality and social behaviour.

Adok, you can't judge an entire community just by the way they treat you. What you imply in your blog post is that in your opinion you've done nothing wrong, you're superior in intelect and the rest is inferior. By drawing that threshold line, you're trying to prove that they're not worthy of your attention. There's a a well-known historical, political figure that had the very same ideology back in the 1930s-40s. You mention in your blog that such similarity accusations are without foundation:
Quote:
[...] bringt meistens fadenscheinige Begründungen, die in vielen Fällen gar nicht zutreffen, zum Beispiel bestimmte politische Ansichten, die ich angeblich vertrete
I hope I could point you to only one example of how you repeatedly show the same pattern over and over again.

It definitely would have been best to just leave in peace. Instead you choose to let out a last series of insults in public.

pouet != demoscene && demoscene != pouet...

This might be a good read for Adok... Didn't read it but I still think it fits well Einführung: Alltagstheorie und wissenschaftliche Theorie

I have also come to the conclusion that you guys are a bunch of jerks. Based on how you treat Adok. And anyone else that doesn't "fit in". What's the matter, low self-esteem and afraid of being judged by association if you aren't the first to judge?
ready2die: did you have the chance to look on adok's posts/threads/comments??

How about you make me shut up, gloom. In fact tell me where you live and I'll come there. We'll see which one of us never posts on pouet again then...
Yeah, go on and make death threats - we take those real lightly here in Norway.

I made no such thing!

But I see you are that kind of "man"...

Norway isn't exact enough but maybe some day we'll meet and you can make me shut up.
I've heard prisons in Norway are really sweet, by the way!
so, one fruitcake leaves, new one appears. grrrrreat ;)
