He finally had left the camp of those who were wretched enough to let themselves be bludgeoned like that. He was glad to have made his choice. He did no longer have to fear the suspicion of the masters. He was on the side of good. The beatings the men received hardened his consciousness to embody good. One cannot receive beatings and be right, one cannot be dirty, eat garbage and be right.

This is far off topic and well into the generic ideological bucket that we don't want on HN. Would you please stop posting like this?

Well, it's a comment on the notion that action, be that votes, sophistry, lies, censorship, violence -- which all are in a bucket separate from discussion -- can bolster an argument. But sure, I will. Not pointing out the dual use of votes and flags because it's not allowed is something I can live with.
