Wearing a mask while defacing public property is an easy way to make enemies.Reader Jason responds to Queen Anne’s Counterbalance Park Defaced by Highly Resourceful, Aesthetically Unimaginative Morons by drawing a thoughtful parallel between the actions of taggers and anonymous Internet commenters.”Yes, I am the wimp in traffic flipping people off.”Yes, tagging is straight up for losers, it is the equivalent of flipping people off in traffic.”You’re right, I wouldn’t say this to someone’s face, just as coward taggers would never tag a property if they knew they were watched by the owners. I’m sure you think it’s somehow different, but it’s not. We are, depressingly, pretty similar. Cowards we are.””It also makes me feel good to make you angry. So I actually would know.”Tred BTM 3A, you are right, your army of taggers would definitely destroy my cowardly ass. I can imagine a huge crew of gangly 12 year olds jumping me in gang-style, hundreds of taggers, thousands even. But you’ll never find me, since I hide my cowardly face behind the net, just as you perform your cowardly ‘political’ tagging act anonymously. Tagging is seriously for cowards.”If you’re actually upset about advertisments, and not just using it as an excuse to vandalize and see your name get up, do something real about it, instead of tagging. Tagging doesn’t do anything except make people waste their time and money cleaning up after it. When people see 3A, they think “who is this a-hole? did he have to carve 3A into my elevator door? This is really ugly now”. They don’t think “Wow, what a bold political statement about the commercial encroachment of public spaces.””I’m out on this thread after this post. Taggers, please, keep the hate up. I like it as much as you. Honestly, it’ll be disappointing if you don’t.”Funny thought, starting this flame war is just like tagging: it took no skill, minimal effort, shows maximum cowardice because I don’t show my identity [save for my online pseudonym, or “tag”]. Best of all, I don’t have to deal with the consequences, since taggers never tag their homes, [I don’t live on this webpage].Peace out, tagger skanks, it’s been real. If you wanna kick it sometime, I’ll be on the corner of 3rd and Bell, buying heroin for my lady.”
