The Idiocy of the RWC 
By: Staff

 

Idiocy:
1 : extreme mental retardation commonly due  to incomplete or abnormal devolpment of the brain.
2 : something notably stupid or foolish.

 The RWC, afflicted with extreme mental retardation, or rather it's councilors, and I  interject here to say some of the councilors, as there are very few (and far in between) that exhibit signs of breaking the mold. But in either case, I find the RWC defining the word idiocy in its most extreme form. Does that make me an idiot for associating with idiots? Rightly so, but the difference between being an idiot and an idiot by association is the capacity to know the difference.

How can a forum strife with idiotic Councilors survive as long as it has? Simple, idiocy breeds idiocy and one has to adapt to their surroundings like any mindless wild beast or become the low man on the food chain.  The lengths a Councilor will go to just to be named "Supreme Idiot," still amazes me. Here in the RWC the title of 'Supreme Idiot' is like a badge of courage worn upon the breast. To the wearer goes an amount of pride that they have achieved the ultimate goal in life.

 The current epidemic of rules change is prime example...

For those readers who are not familiar with the RWC or it's policy and procedures, your not missing much. However, as an attempt to explain, the rules within the RWC have been changed, completely, at least a half dozen times. But let is us not discount the numerous motions that are made on a regular basis to change rules that a Councilor once voted in but now does not like. Or matter-of-factly, a rule they once exploited but now is being exploited by another upon them. But by far the most rewarding achievement an idiot can call their own is motioning back in a rule that replaced the very rule they motioned in.

 And yet, once again we find the rules being changed. The crowning achievement of a select group of people who wouldn't know their arse from a hole in the ground. The very same people who before the rules can be voted on have already made motions to change these rules. Am I the only one who sees the true idiocy in this? When questioned they are quick with defense saying this is their opinion and their right to their opinion than turn around and deny others theirs. What is their motive? Are they even intelligent enough to have a motive? It is like watching a feeding frenzy. Throw these Councilors a bone and what reason and intelligence they do possess, if any, flees like a stampeding herd.

The current rewrite for the JC rules can stand as testament. The sheer genius of removing the FC as final authority and giving that authority to the RCC, when the FC is a not an unlimited termed position and therefore cannot be clouded by continued bias as say a held position like the JAC, RCC, CAs,  makes my stomach curdle. The RCC, despite being only a steward of the RWC to handle motions and rewrites, now becomes the interpreter of the rules. Hence, within the hands of the RCC goes the power to overrule even the original author of any given rule and his/her intent.  I don't know about the handful of genius's who wrote these proposed rules but I am under the impression they have replaced one 'dictator' with another.

I often liken the RWC to a rat race. Set a handful of Councilors free in a maze and watch as they scurry, bash their heads into a wall, and climb over each other, just to reach the finish line. It is rather comical and the RWC is worth more than it's share of amusements. One has to truly wonder if being an idiot is all it's cracked up to be. But in the end a true idiot never realizes the idiocy of their actions.
