D.S. Cord has hit on a great idea. We are gathering our forces
for a major email campaign to Time Inc. What we plan to do beginning
ASAP is to email Time and demand "our" candidate ( Dobbs) be removed
from the poll. We will show that he is a leader of a "church" by
supplying Time documentation of this fact and since other religious
leaders have been removed from the poll then we DEMAND Bob to be
removed as well. We figure we can flood Time with our "requests" and
scream bloody murder as we do it.
We will use Hubbard's Scientology removal as another example why we
deserve "Fair Play" We will continue voting for the G man
but will begin this mass petition to remove Bob in a continuous mass
send out. The coming weekend's keg parties will also engage in this new
strategy. Cats Pajamas has estamited we can send Time 1 to 2 thousand
demands to remove Bob a day and twice that on weekends. The form letter
with attached "church" logo is being prepaired now.
DW has already put the world out to Tech, etc and we should be in full
swing by tomorrow morning.
Hail Discordia!!

If that were really your goal you wouldn't have made that post.

It's funny how the only time these Discordians ever manage to DO something
is when they're trying to piss US off...isn't it?

It's just a question of the proper motivation.

And since "Bob" is obviously the center of every Discordian's
life, what better motivation could they have, being the
iconoclasts they want to be so badly?

Hey thanks, Rev! Quick thinking! Our hats are off to you. The key
word is "being" prepared. Just think if you haven't had spoke up
we might have made a boo boo. Thanks for the warning. In a way
you have stumbled on a better idea, we are going to make this a grass
roots campaign, no use for the Higher Ups, logos etc to get involved.
It will *just* be Bob's devoted flock demanding his name be taken off the
list.
You are a bloody genius!
What goes for Hubbard should go for Bob... Fair is Fair!
Sending thousands of votes to Geraldo is one thing, sending thousands to
Time inc
with threats of boycotts and tiny fingers pointing at religious bigotry is
another.
Thanks again Mister!
Hail Discordia
okay, boys and girls you heard the rev. Can the logo but let Time see them
tears.
