The Peter Principle


Recommended Posts

Great read.

Peter, under pressure and fear, denied Christ not just once, but three times. Peter, though, feared death. The strain on Peter was great. The rest of us, though, typically fear the opinions of others.

 

There are those who like it when we feel guilty for associating with someone. More troubling, in the conservative movement and in the greater right-of-center coalition, there are many, many fellow traveller who would rather spend their time throwing their own under the bus than fighting the left.

 

Their typical means of ostracism is to condemn the rest of us for daring to say nice things about them. Reasons abound for this. Many of these weak minded fools are not really fellow travelers. Like a vulture flying in flock with swans, they benefit from the work the rest of us are doing to gain themselves credibility. The media plays along calling the vultures swans so others, they hope, see ugly ducklings around the vultures instead of swans

In a Hierarchy Every Employee Tends to Rise to His Level of Incompetence

 

Kinda like this BB. Every poster seems to rise to his own level of incompetence. Owensmania managed that with his very first post. The career equivalent of a lifetime spent in the mail room.

Ignoring the substance of this thread is only making you look like a moron and a coward.

 

 

What substance? That's your problem, you bring nothing of substance to the forum.

What substance? There's no substance to this thread. There's your mindless initial post, and a bunch of people telling you how much of a douchebag you are. What kind of delusion are you in that this thread possesses "substance"?

This is a message board not a community.

 

This is a community that communicates via a message board. People have come here and found support (and mockery at times) for every conceivable ail.

 

At the moment, you're filling the role of village idiot but don't count on that lasting (Wacka wants his title back).

 

In fairness, I have to say your attempt at insulting Tom above could buy you more time. Unintentional humor is often the most well-received type.
