I would like, no demand, a position document by the Anti Zealot Campaign.
Too many posters are claiming to hold high office in this campaign and yet I have not seen any real discussion of what this campaign stands for.
Let's have it.

If you do a little research on the threads - try looking at the posts of the main members - you might find what you're looking for. It was discussed not too long ago, btw.

the Anti-Zealots....in a nutshell....are against bashing the PC all together and the PC-toting freaks out there...

I'm a Mac-freak...completely in every way...but I know there is another computer platform which can serve other people in ways that a Mac just won't...

but I also know that Mac OS is better than Windows...but I try not to get too emotional over it...unlike some of the flamewars have shown in the past around here... ;)

I was talking with some other members earlier today...and we're thinking of developing our own campaign...a coalition if u will...of course it's still in it's begining stages...

more to come soon...he he he :p

Anti-Zealots are people who really do think different.

They don't really focus on one thing (such as a PC user), they look at everything.

We really try to open our minds to other platforms, programs, and practically anything!

I've been of this mind for a while now... Eventually it dawned on me, that in heated arguements like this (and NOT to get things started, but abortion, religion, etc, blah) you can argue until you turn blue, but no one's going to change their opinion. Each side attacks saying "my view indisputible" rather than "i have an open mind and will listen to what the other side says", so the arguing is pointless. The saying goes, "what would you have if you understood both sides of an arguement? paralysis"... it's true... you don't dwell on the arguement, and move on to bigger and better things.

This is why I want to be an anti-zealot. Thank you for your consideration.

First off: LOL, love your sig paulwhannel! It's beautifully random. :D

And secondly here on the order of the Anti-Zealot Campaign, I would like a rousing chorus of "Hail, Hail, the Gang's All Here"! :D

BTW... I would certainly not consider my position in this campaign as holding high office. :p

I think i shall become "Superior General in charge of ambiguous anti-zealous affairs" if no one minds, since there doesn't seem to be any governing group that admits new members... I hereby admit myself ;)

The basic Field Pie Kit:

1 pack - 8" Disposable Pie Pans.

2 - 8 cans of whip cream in various flavours.

A typical Clown Commando also carries 1 to 4 Seltzer bottles and a backup piece: typically a moon-pie.

Special targets require special ordinance. For example the standard issue Assasination Pie is a store bought puree based dark fruit pie.

In a pinch, for a low ranking special target all Pie Assasins cache basic pie making supplies in their kitchen.

Research is being done in the Special Pies division into vehicle-mounted soft-merengue sprayers and Anti-tank pies.

Thanks for some of the minor clarifications and threats of violence, but I have yet to see a coherent statement of position.
As a contrarian organization it seems difficult to claim to be open minded while your very organiztion has the word "anti" in it. Perhaps the "Campaign to Listen to the Zealots but Ultimately Make Up Our Own Minds" would be more appropriate.
The Pro Zealot Campaign is a contra-contrarian movement to embrace the fervor that allows people to get so fired up that they get red faced and spit while talking...a simple goal actually. By allowing the flame to burn hotter we believe that it will burn itself out quicker. Down with hearing both sides! Down with rational discussion! Dogma! Dogma! Dogma! Dogma!!!!!

Anti-zealot campaign statement....

Just a bunch of Mac loving people who are not so stupidly entrenced in our use of Mac's that we cannot see the bennifit to other operating systems, platforms, and the need to sleep with our wife, instead of playing Quake 3 when she is wearing the black teddy. We are also firmly against the PC Zealots who come here to do nothing but start uneducated flamewars for their kicks because they don't have wifes that wear black teddys. In addition to that we are fully armed and capable of defending all that which is Mac, with intellegence and dignity.

Self-defense against Fresh Fruit
From Monty Python's Flying Circus

Colonel (Graham Chapman): get some discipline into those chaps, Sergeant Major!

Sargeant (John Cleese, shouting throughout): Right sir! Good evening, class.

All (mumbling): Good evening.

Sargeant: Where's all the others, then?

All: They're not here.

Sgt.: I can see that. What's the matter with them?

All: Dunno. Chapman (member of class): Perhaps they've got 'flu.

Sgt.: Huh! 'Flu, eh? They should eat more fresh fruit. Ha. Right. Now, self-defence. Tonight I shall be carrying on from where we got to last week when I was showing you how to defend yourselves against anyone who attacks you with armed with a piece of fresh fruit.

(Grumbles from all)

Palin: Oh, you promised you wouldn't do fruit this week.

Sgt.: What do you mean?

Jones: We've done fruit the last nine weeks.

Sgt.: What's wrong with fruit? You think you know it all, eh?

Palin: Can't we do something else?

Idle (Welsh): Like someone who attacks you with a pointed stick?

Sgt.: Pointed stick? Oh, oh, oh. We want to learn how to defend ourselves against pointed sticks, do we? Getting all high and mighty, eh? Fresh fruit not good enough for you eh? Well I'll tell you something my lad. When you're walking home tonight and some great homicidal maniac comes after you with a bunch of loganberries, don't come crying to me! Now, the passion fruit. When your assailant lunges at you with a passion fruit...

All: We done the passion fruit.

Sgt.: What? Chapman: We done the passion fruit.

Palin: We done oranges, apples, grapefruit...

Jones: Whole and segments.

Palin: Pomegranates, greengages...

Chapman: Grapes, passion fruit...

Palin: Lemons...

Jones: Plums...

Chapman: Mangoes in syrup...

Sgt.: How about cherries?

All: We did them.

Sgt.: Red *and* black?

All: Yes!

Sgt.: All right, bananas. (All sigh.)

Sgt.: We haven't done them, have we? Right. Bananas. How to defend yourself against a man armed with a banana. Now you, come at me with this banana. Catch! Now, it's quite simple to defend yourself against a man armed with a banana. First of all you force him to drop the banana; then, second, you eat the banana, thus disarming him. You have now rendered him 'elpless.

Palin: Suppose he's got a bunch.

Sgt.: Shut up.

Idle: Suppose he's got a pointed stick.

Sgt.: Shut up. Right now you, Mr Apricot.

Chapman: 'Arrison.

Sgt.: Sorry, Mr. 'Arrison. Come at me with that banana. Hold it like that, that's it. Now attack me with it. Come on! Come on! Come at me! Come at me then! (Shoots him.)

Chapman: Aaagh! (dies.)

Sgt.: Now, I eat the banana. (Does so.)

Palin: You shot him!

Jones: He's dead!

Idle: He's completely dead!

Sgt.: I have now eaten the banana. The deceased, Mr Apricot, is now 'elpless.

Palin: You shot him. You shot him dead.

Sgt.: Well, he was attacking me with a banana.

Jones: But you told him to.

Sgt.: Look, I'm only doing me job. I have to show you how to defend yourselves against fresh fruit.

Idle: And pointed sticks.

Sgt.: Shut up.

Palin: Suppose I'm attacked by a man with a banana and I haven't got a gun?

Sgt.: Run for it.

Jones: You could stand and scream for help.

Sgt.: Yeah, you try that with a pineapple down your windpipe.

Jones: A pineapple?

Sgt.: Where? Where?

Jones: No I just said: a pineapple.

Sgt.: Oh. Phew. I thought my number was on that one.

Jones: What, on the pineapple?

Sgt.: Where? Where?

Jones: No, I was just repeating it.

Sgt.: Oh. Oh. I see. Right. Phew. Right that's bananas then. Now the raspberry. There we are. 'Armless looking thing, isn't it? Now you, Mr Tin Peach.

Jones: Thompson.

Sgt.: Thompson. Come at me with that raspberry. Come on. Be as vicious as you like with it.

Jones: No.

Sgt.: Why not?

Jones: You'll shoot me.

Sgt.: I won't.

Jones: You shot Mr. Harrison.

Sgt.: That was self-defence. Now come on. I promise I won't shoot you.

Idle: You promised you'd tell us about pointed sticks.

Sgt.: Shut up. Come on, brandish that raspberry. Come at me with it. Give me Hell.

Jones: Throw the gun away.

Sgt.: I haven't got a gun.

Jones: You have.

Sgt.: Haven't.

Jones: You shot Mr 'Arrison with it.

Sgt.: Oh, that gun.

Jones: Throw it away.

Sgt.: Oh all right. How to defend yourself against a redcurrant -- without a gun.

Jones: You were going to shoot me!

Sgt.: I wasn't.

Jones: You were!

Sgt.: No, I wasn't, I wasn't. Come on then. Come at me. Come on you weed! You weed, do your worst! Come on, you puny little man. You weed...

(Sgt. pulls a lever in the wall--CRASH! a 16-ton weight falls on Jones)

Jones: Aaagh.

Sgt.: If anyone ever attacks you with a raspberry, just pull the lever and the 16-ton weight will fall on top of him.

Palin: Suppose there isn't a 16-ton weight?

Sgt.: Well that's planning, isn't it? Forethought.

Palin: Well how many 16-ton weights are there?

Sgt.: Look, look, look, Mr Knowall. The 16-ton weight is just _one way_ of dealing with a raspberry killer. There are millions of others!

Idle: Like what?

Sgt.: Shootin' him?

Palin: Well what if you haven't got a gun or a 16-ton weight?

Sgt.: Look, look. All right, smarty-pants. You two, you two, come at me then with raspberries. Come on, both of you, whole basket each.

Palin: No guns.

Sgt.: No. Palin: No 16-ton weights.

Sgt.: No. Idle: No pointed sticks.

Sgt.: Shut up. Palin: No rocks up in the ceiling.

Sgt.: No. Palin: And you won't kill us.

Sgt.: I won't.

Palin: Promise.

Sgt.: I promise I won't kill you. Now. Are you going to attack me?

Palin & Idle: Oh, all right.

Sgt.: Right, now don't rush me this time. Stalk me. Do it properly. Stalk me. I'll turn me back. Stalk up behind me, close behind me, then in with the redcurrants! Right? O.K. start moving. Now the first thing to do when you're being stalked by an ugly mob with redcurrants is to -- release the tiger!

(He does so. Growls. Screams.)

Sgt.: The great advantage of the tiger in unarmed combat is that he eats not only the fruit-laden foe but also the redcurrants. Tigers however do not relish the peach. The peach assailant should be attacked with a crocodile. Right, now, the rest of you, where are you? I know you're hiding somewhere with your damsons and prunes. Well I'm ready for you. I've wired meself up to 200 tons of gelignite, and if any one of you so much as makes a move we'll all go up together! Right, right. I warned you. That's it...

I like to use the right tool for the job... Against one target, or a small group, the flames work real nice. You also get all nice and toasty warm from using them (as well as a warm feeling where it counts). Some targets require a nuke though, when you need to take out the terrain surrounding the target, and don't care if you can't use it for the next umpteen years.

Then again, I also multi-task as a sniper :D

I invented a number of Heavy Weapons for the Anti-Zealot campaign.

The iNuke Orbital Edition that ended the war with Gocyrus.

The Proverb of the Rectal Craniotomy that ended John123's rant on Grammar.

The infamous iPoop.

The official inflight Macrumors flamewar disclaimer.

The Poop-monkey/Gorilla.

And of course the Orbital Pie Strike.:D

I can provide you with a compatible handset for the orbital platform and the Primates and iPoop I'll lease out if you like.;)

mischief, I'll take the headset for the oribital platform, but I am in the process of genetically engineering my own creatures. I am also designing some long arms to reach out and b*tch-slap someone with :D. As well as an moron neutralizing weapon that kills them for 30-90 minutes (depending on how stupid they really are). That last one is in the testing stages, with a few prototypes (slight modifications between them). Once they are out of testing, I will share the plans with you. :D

I'll do the iBrow, the iCakeSplat would require a significant bit of work right now that I can't really do, sorry.

I checked the profiles, and even though I might have out performed most people this month, krosfighter has the most posts in the shortest amount of time. He didn't register and start posting until 01/13/02 and has over 10 posts/day. No one is even close to that.

Here's some 'tars

Miriam Webster's defines zealot as a fanatical partisan. Listing weapons, describing oneself as all manner of attack dog, these don't sound like the actions of zealots?
I forward the motion that the Anti Zealot Campaign rename itself the Pro Hipocrasy Campaign and turn it's arsenal against itself.

Oh sure, silence the debate when you lose your point!
At least I haven't gone on for pages about throwing pies and using flamethrowers and such...I just wanted to know if the anti-Zealots actually stood for something, which I think they did for a brief period.

wow...I missed all of this until now. Thats what happens when you're working non-stop for a week on end I guess.

I am officially declaring myself the Rogue Samuri of the Anti-Anti-Zealot Campaign. I will NOT sit back here and allow everyone to conform to the Anti-Zealots with all their propaganda subliminal messages.

I will fight the estabolishment by dark and use the shadows as my cover. Wherever the Anti-Zealots attempt to gain a stronghold I will be there lurking in the shadows ready to strike at any moment.

There will never be an all Anti-Zealot Campaign forum as long as I have something to do with it! I wont allow these forums to get boring and one sided.

Let's Dance.

:cool:

PS: I'm not taking a zealot stance, just one against the anti-zealots for the sake of playing devil's advocate.

Let's have it.

spikey started the campaign to fight the pcs with facts, not general untruths told from the mouths of fanatical mac zealots who could care less about facts

the best way to promote apple is by the truth and what a mac can do for the person questioning the need for one

spg, sorry i took so long to answer your question...after spikey started the anti-zealot campaign, i joined in but i hold no office

i am a pc techie who is aware of the downfalls, and strengths of pcs

Thanks Geert, glad you liked them. Mischief hasn't posted recently, maybe he'll see them sometime soon, though. I'll drop him a line anyway to let him know.

I'm thinking about 'selling' my current one and moving on to something a little more subtle myself. I think I made the point for now. I'll post it in the forsale/trade forum. It should be interesting to see how it is received.

so if u were too zealous an anti-zealot...that would make u an overzealous-anti-zealot...

I don't think we're going to have to worry about that here...

at this point...they are all taking positions within the campaign...seems more like a senate if u ask me... ;)

I just couldn't get them to download with all their frames. I certainly DO want the second one (with the wiggle-brow, not just the raised brow). If you could stuffit and E-Mail it to me? Perhaps give me a URL to link it to?


As to the little wankers playing Anti-hipocrite:

This was an informal grouping of those of us who were tired of seeing so many whiney little punks and PC/Mac Zealot out there Jack-Booting around.

The world has gotten entirely too serious. I founded SPLAT Div. to show off just how silly so much self-indulgent behavior is and how, so often it winds up destructive (See Also the "Pie List" thread).

If there are a few folks out there that make it hard for the rest of us by being entirely too serious than I think that a few of us who see the futility of their tantrums and Egotism ought to Pie the bastards until they see it too.

All you anti-anti Zealots..........watch out. We know who you are and SPLAT Div. may have a Pie around with your name on it.;) :p :D

OK, it really shouldn't be that hard. You're on a mac right? Don't flame me for that one, but some people actually aren't using macs when they're on MacRumors.

If you are just put your mouse over the image, click on it and drag it to the desktop. Rename it 'something'.gif (it will be .php) and then go and reload it like you did the last.

If you still have problems, I'll email it.
