Hurteauvian Admiration
B.H.A. (Before Hurteauvian Admiration) – before the Internet made it possible to get ordained and become a “man of the cloth” instantly by signing up for it at a website, before God invented dime-a-dozen computer “experts,” before the web turned lame hacks into self-appointed gurus and devas of cyberspace – things like knowledge, literacy, and analytical thought still had some respect. Now the web is so full of profound gibberish it takes special effort to sort through it for kernels of reasonableness.
What is “Hurteauvian Admiration?” It is FcNextercultist Paul Hurteau (proprietor of FreeCycleEarth.org and FreeCycleAmerica.org) extolling the virtues of Nexteritis in his recent FcNext post, for our supposedly “putting together a nice looking site that is easy to navigate,” and for our being “some REALLY talented people.”
In the same stinking breath, he declares us “sheep” working for TFN (The Freecycle Network, Inc.).
Bah. Bah. Bah. He’s not pulling the wool over our eyes, or those of anyone else knowing from whence they speak or write of Nexteritis; i.e., those who actually read what we write.
TFN sheep don’t independently create voluminous blogs slamming the bejezus out of men of the cloth like Paul Hurteau, “Pastor” Ken Hedden, and Deacon of the Erisian Way a.k.a. “Freecycling for Dollars“ Freesharing.org proprietor Eric Burke, among other FcNext cultists.
Sheep don’t do serious investigation and analysis of corrupt operations like SharingIsGiving.org and Freesharing.org, presenting irrefutable evidence of damning conclusions about them.
TFN sheep don’t publicly condemn TFN’s nepotism and cronyism driving the constitution of their corporate board of directors, among other improprieties of that sick outfit. Not independently, the way Nexteritis does it, unlike the cranks huddled in each other’s cultic warmth in the dark of FcNext’s cave.
If Nexteritis is sheep, we are the black ones of the freecycling flock; ones with canine-type teeth in our assessments of freecycling idiocy disguised as “leadership,” and toothless watchdogs of TFN like FcNext.
Nexteritis is not in any way allied, affiliated, or associated with ANY freecycling group or organization. We are completely independent black sheep. Nobody tells us what to think, do, or say. We have no allegiance to TFN or any other freecycling entity. We dislike TFN and FcNext on our own initiative, arising from our own experience and analysis of them. We don’t need Paul’s help to get the word out about us, because the blogosphere is doing that for us automatically, but we appreciate Paul’s effort just the same.
What does Hurteau really admire about Nexteritis? He admires the layout of our blog, which we did not design. It is The Journalist blog format provided by WordPress.com. We gratefully acknowledge the work of Lucian E. Marin for the design of The Journalist blog presentation format provided through WordPress.
Paul also admires our being “REALLY talented people.” Maybe he refers to our work in having investigated and cogently reported the true nature of FcNext (The Lost Generation of Freecycling), SharingIsGiving.org and Freesharing.org? In any case, we won’t argue with him about whether we have talent.
We appreciate Paul’s plug for Nexteritis in his recent FcNext post, since all we really want to do is get the word out about the sickness of FcNext and its leading cultists. Thanks for the link, Paul. We would send you a pre-approved invitation to join the Nexteritis Yahoo! Group, but in your ignorance you’d probably call it spam. So here’s the link:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nexteritis
We assume you can find your way there out of the dark.
