Distributed Punch in the Face System

Posted by Steven Garrity on in , - 21 comments

Suggestion for a distributed open-source system to fight badness:

The system allows you to enter the name/location of a person who needs to be punched in the face, somewhere in the world (a known spammer, for example).

Then, you see if there is anyone near you that needs to be punched in the face. Punch them.

I’m not sure if it will scale.

Whoa there. Some pent up issue we need to know about Steve? Take valium and post again in the morning.

Bah, who needs the website? Just go and randomly punch someone in the face. You can be sure that they've done *something* to deserve it sometime in their life. ;-)

I don't think it will scale - there are just too many people who need a punch in the face.

You are clearly unaware of the Belgian Postal Service's "leave a pin on a jerk's chair by mail" program that has existed since 1887.

Someone just punched me...is there a reverse lookup deal that I can use to find out what I did?

Hmm. But what if I sent Steve a punch for using obsolete as a verb (for example) when really it only deserved a glare?

Obviously, I'd need a wiki of my peers to determine the scale of the offense and the amount of negative karma.

It would scale: I'd personally create a mashup where I'd use a knife.

To scare them.

Before I smash them in the bracket.

Given the tone of this discussion, I would say that justanothernickname is just asking for it.

I personnaly dont believe in violence(not to homosapiens anyway) If you are hostile-it creates a sense of hostility not just for the one intended,but for those others around also..Have people not seen enough of violence-It only takes a nod of the head to end a life in some parts of the world.
Havent we not been educated! Or are we going back to barbaric ways.
