The Y2k Nega-Doomers Page - AKA "Those Who Deny"
By Richard A. Fleetwood - May 2001
(originally written in January 2000)
No matter how hard I, nor anyone else, work to help those less inclined
around us learn to prepare for ANY potential or eminent disaster or approaching
cataclysm, there will always be those POLLYANNAS who see ONE problem go by
and truly believe there is not, nor was there ever, any REAL problem. They'll
see a "No Disasterous Y2k" pass on by, then proceed with the name calling,
finger pointing, and otherwise "smartass" remarks to let me personally, those
around me, and YOU, my friends, know that we are all losers for thinking
that Bad Things Might Happen.
On this page you will see examples of the kind of people I talk about. Beware,
these folks come from all different areas of society, including the rather
crude ones, and will use language appropriate with their education level.
I apologize in advance for them, but I truly want YOU to see what comes out
of the woodwork at ANY time of day or night, especially when the light is
turned on in "the roach infested kitchen of life" when a disaster of ANY
possibility appears near or far. Just like those poor folks that say nuclear
war will never happen, and don't prepare...save your time and money. NEWS
FLASH...we already had one....it ended WWII. With 30,000 nuclear weapons
on the face of the planet, another nuclear war MIGHT happen, and will always
be a possibility until the last weapon is destroyed. Until then, I and many
others will talk about ways to SURVIVE their possible future use, or survive
any other real or possible threat to the safety and welfare of OUR LOVED
ONES. If you don't care enough to prepare, then why are YOU here?
I will post to this page all emails I receive from these "heathens", as my
brother used to say in his youth, to let you know what kinds of folks think
NOTHING bad will, or ever, happen. I will continue to post what I have receive
as time goes by the next few weeks. I will post exactly what is sent me,
from those who feel it neccessary to personally abuse me for my beliefs.
I will post EXACTLY what they send, unabridged, so be prepared for verbiage
that might assault the senses. I will put a reply below each unsolicited
mailing to try to assuage their feelings of superiority, and my continued
belief that ANYTHING bad is worth trying to prepare for.
Send your comments to ME at
rafleet@gmail.com
Comments from readers and visitors to THIS page will be posted on my
Y2k-Nega-Doomers Readers Respond page. Let's
all work on the same team here, pulling in the same direction, towards the
same goal. Share, Care, and Prepare....ALLWAYS.

Hey dude!
I just wanted to drop ya a line to say, "what does it feel like to be a total
fucking loser?"
It's bad enough I had to listen to the media reports for the last year but
it's retards like yourself that really amaze me, praying on the fear of the
uniformed, feeding them bullshit up until the last minute and probably taking
there money as well.
I can hardly wait to see the next update to your pre-schooler mentality web-site,
though you probably don't have the balls to address all the people you have
so ignorantly misinformed for the last year or so.
How fitting this site was developed by an AOL Lamer. Why dont you find
something worthwhile to post on this ridiculous domain?

Hi Phillip J.!
Damn Glad to Meet Ya. I just wanted to say thank you for your kind, thoughtful,
and oh so well thought out missive you took time from your busy spelling
bee training schedule to write and email to me. The crayon letters seemed
to have scanned in and OCR'ed quite nicely. In answer to your first sentence,
"I don't know". But I'm sure with your apparent vast experience in that area
you will be able to tell me and my many thousands of friends who read this
on my website. And No, I am not retarded. My IQ seems to be much larger than
my shoe size, in comparison to yours which in the few short words above seem
to be based on little tiny feet.
Yes, I did pray...to God Almighty that the worry caused by the media blowing
DISASTERS TO BE out of proportion would NOT cause the brain-damaged folks
like yourself to attack others, loot and generally take advantage of those
TRULY scared of REAL problems that could have occured, had the governments
and corporations of the world NOT spent 300 billion dollars on REMEDIATION
and MITIGATION of possible problems. I'll wait a few minutes for you to pitty-pat
across the shag rug and get your little "Speak and Spell" Dictionary to look
up those two really big words.
Back now? Good. I THINK the word you meant was PREYING. If so, I had no reason
to do that, nor did I allow anyone else to use my website to do that, weeding
out MANY would-be members who DID try to. But, you wouldn't understand that
now would you? And on the UNIFORMED? Does this mean folks like marines,
policemen, fireman and the like? By the way I AM one of the UNIFORMED. I'll
let you figure that out on your own.
Now, just supposing you meant the UNINFORMED? Makes sense to me, as that
is apparently what you are. You saw one or two pages somewhere, read into
those pages what YOU wanted to, ASSUMED you were about to raise yourself
above the rest by lowering a total and complete stranger with your foul mouth,
holier-than-thou attitude, and negative accusatory tones in a really nifty
131 word declaration of your amazing lack of forethought or feeling for REAL
TRUTH in a world filled with REAL LIES, and found an email link (which is
amazing to me even now) to send it to me. I suppose you feel Clinton is STILL
the finest president this nation has ever seen, too.
In case you hadn't noticed, YOU are part of next update of SurvivalRing.
Surprise! I do have rather large ones, as compared to you, whose nether regions
probably haven't dropped yet. Be patient...they will...if you're a good little
lad. By the way, you kiss your MOMMA with that mouth of yours? Sheesh.
I take my little SurvivalRing project rather seriously. I have done things
that have helped folks all over the world. I will continue to do so. I suspect
you have no idea what it means to ASSIST other people the world over with
information that is not normally easily available. I have nothing but the
best intentions with my work. You obviously have nothing but the worst intentions
with yours....so far...or have you actually done something to help your fellow
man yet?
AOL Lamer, eh? Ouch. That Hurts. Stop. No, Really. I can't stand it. You're
killing me here. Where will I go? What will I say. My life is ruined. I see
the tunnel of light approaching with great speed. I am sorry I offended such
an awesome and and omniscient being....I'm not worthy... I'm not worthy.
NOT. Get a life, Buck-a-roo. Go somewhere else where that little mind of
yours doesn't look so puny and infantile. You use your little LEGO
"I-can-use-an-ISP" kit, and go make trouble elsewhere. Obviously the word
VALUE isn't in your lexicon, either.
I love your Yahoo email address and name as well. So very, very cute.
pleaseoplease_2000@yahoo.com (Yukatan biged)
Maybe your should change your 'Yukatan' to 'Yankin-on'
Lastly, I never trust ANYONE who opens a letter to a stranger with the word
"DUDE" in it. Guess the rest of your grunge band screwed up at school again
and got detention and left you with the keys the computer room in your mom's
attic.
Get a life, my friend. Find someone else to harrangue. You're about as worrisome
as a cloudy day.
Sincerely (Yes, I mean every word above)

the word idiot comes to mind. you and the gary north types!!!
Reply to Email Number Two
Yo, Ken.
Thank you for sharing such an enlightened and thouroughly complete response
to NOTHING. What made the word idiot come to your mind? Do you often think
of derogatory pronouns such as this and then email total strangers with them?
Good for you! That shows great initiative my friend. And, OH-MY-GOD....I've
been mentioned in the very same breath with Gary North!!! Better go get an
agent and such right this very moment.
Now, in reality Ken....what did YOU expect to happen with Y2k?
Abso-freakin-lutely nothing at all? Not one single technical glitch on the
face of the planet? No one without power? Clean water forever? Not a single
care in the world? A shiny new millenium with everyone praying to the Goddess
Gaia thanking her for not letting the earth explode as was foretold by so
many prophets eons ago?
Ken, Ken, Ken. My friend. Really, you are my friend. Stuff is ALWAYS going
to happen. Bad stuff. Tornadoes. Hurricanes. Floods, wind, water, earthquakes,
volcanism, plagues, locusts, drought, food shortages, suffering, decay, disease,
pestilance, hunger, famine. Only God knows where, only God knows when, and
only God knows why. Ours is not to question, but to survive. To continue
the cycle of life...no matter what.
God depends on us, or should I say LET'S US, figure out for ourselves, how
to make it through OUR cycles of life, learning the whole time, and sharing
that education if and as we can, with others. Some folks don't make it thru
their lives without tragedy...some die...many suffer. Ours is to IDENTIFY
the patterns, when there are, and avoid the same end in the FUTURE. 40,000
people died recently in Venezuela...20,000 in Hurricane Mitch a couple years
ago... 50,000 plus in Columbia this decade in volcanic mudslides...6,000
in Kobe, Japan in that horrible earthquake.
Could all of these people have been saved with proper preparations? No. Some
of them? Very definitely. I feel any and all effort to LESSEN the effects
of a natural, OR manmade, disaster is worth every single breath you or I
may take. Is that bad? I don't think so. Do you?
Stop calling strangers names. Start learning how to save future lives of
those around you. Or do you care?
I do. AS DO OTHERS. Join us, or get out of the way.
