I saw GayLubeOil's post about black knighting. I completely disagree. (I can't remember the last time I read something by GLO and didn't agree, at least with the crux of what was being said-so I'm a bit surprised here.) I do not think BK'ing fits in with any of RP's goals. It isn't going to get you laid and it doesn't help make you better.

I won't disagree that a number of people might, objectively, deserve to be treated such. But, that's not the point. I, and I think most RP'ers as well, are concerned with who I am and who I'm going to be, not who you are. Who you are does not dictate who I am or can be. What you deserve isn't tied to what I need to do. I do think it's wise to know who you are dealing with so you know what you need to do, but that's so you can do what you need in order to benefit yourself.

Engaging in a course of activity that has no real chance of benefiting and is primarily designed to put someone else in a bad situation seems pointless and a waste of effort. I want to feel good because of what I've accomplished, not because I can tear you down. I see no difference in this than in the douche bags who do nothing other than make fun of other people and think that makes them look cool. This seems like encouraging people to pray on the week in order to feel strong. It's a cheat and means nothing.
