User blog comment:TurtleShroom/Jones Johnson Confronts the Tallest on Policy/@comment-113335-20100430194929

Letting others become a Tallest doesn't collapse your regime, Ben Hun. It simply adds more dictators/policy makers! Besides, it would take a lot of hard work and extreme contributions to run for the monarchial position.

Furthermore, Tallest disrespect shouldn't be a crime. People make fun of me every day, and they mock me every day. If I punished those who "disrespected me", I'd have to ban myself. Have you seen my head? It's huge! Even moreso is the size of my nose!

People criticize my policies daily. It is only when they attack me as a person, or hit my morals as a person, when I attack them.

A strict definition should be given as what constitutes disrespect: indeed, telling a Tallest that they are a bad ruler is one thing. Insulting them as a person- ala Ad hominum -is another altogether. Saying you are a bad ruler should not be punished. Saying you are a wretched person, however, is a different can of worms altogether.

Take it from an ex-dictator: the people need power and checks and balences must exist! -- † TurtleShroom™! Jesus Loves You and Died for You!! †    :)  :) Hey George... ...you forgot Halliburton. † 19:49, April 30, 2010 (UTC)
