That's the point. Nobody had to listen. If you don't like
thinking/ideas/philosphy then don't read my posts. <br>

The reason is this: everyone has their own little point of
power upon<br>
which the rest their identity. For some, it's religion, for
others<br>
it's evolution. Women know it well, because men have been<br>
establishing the points of "truth" within the otherwise
boundlessness<br>
of (pre)existence to rest their soul on or using their
strength to<br>
establish it by fiat since time immemorial. You simply didn't
notice<br>
the issue, presumably because your point of power is shared by
a<br>
million people. The issue of using the pronoun "it" appears
to be<br>
(one of) Peter's.<br>
<br>
A better strategy for Peter though is neither silence, nor
frivolous<br>
rebellions to get power: it's to prove himself more capable
in the<br>
arenas in which the hackerspace's mission believes. This is
good<br>
advice generally, since the issue of power is ongoing.<br>
