The crazy must be gods

I spent a little time perusing the Ouwet Front website today and I have to say, the people who post there are completely insane. I attempted to partake in the Geagea lovefest by commenting on one of their embarrassing posts, but alas, it was not meant to be. Their comments are moderated, and mine has yet to clear the Ouwet Front censorship gauntlet.

Here's what i wrote:

Your comment is awaiting moderation.

I’m no fan of Aoun, much less “Dr.” Geagea, but I have to say that you do yourselves and your political beliefs/ambitions/followers/leaders no favors by posting this inane drivel. It’s a testament to Lebanon’s sorry excuse for a political culture that followers of this leader or that stoop to such intellectually challenged nonsense to “put down” their opponents.

Grow up and at least pretend that you respect our country and its future by engaging in a more mature discourse.

Or do what I do, which is bash them ALL for the lying, corrupt, murdering, hypocritical, genocidal maniacs that they are, no exceptions.

This website/blog/Geagea-shrine is imbecilic. Stop worshipping your leaders and hold them accountable. Do something - anything - to help our country, and stop disrespecting yourselves and your homeland.

It wasn't until after I clicked 'submit' that I was informed that my comment was "awaiting moderation." Figuring that there was no way they would allow the comment through (every comment I saw on the site was in fawning agreement with the fawning poster, so they either have a VERY homogenous reading base, or they don't believe in freedom of expression), I decided to taunt whoever moderates the comments there:

Dear moderator:

I DARE you to allow my previous post to be shown.

Or, you can go ahead and prove you’re a coward.

Love and kisses,

A quick jab at the weak point of Geageaniacs the world over - their legendary bravery (especially when the enemy is asleep, defenseless, or pleading for mercy). Impulsive? Yes. Slightly childish? Probably, but I couldn't resist. There's something about mindless adoration that baffles, disgusts, and at the same time intrigues me, and I feel the need to poke it with a stick just to see what happens.

It's been a few hours, and our esteemed moderator hasn't bitten yet. I will now post a comment on Ouwet Front containing a link to this post. I think that may make the internet implode.

UPDATE: My comments made it through. Both of them. And I got a nice response from one of the Ouwet Front bloggers:
