An Intercepted Transmission

I wonder what the purpose of posting a message to all the leaders of EPN factions directly on data node one is. Considering the name of this so-called operation, I imagine it will be a speech or two. Yawn. Perhaps if the speakers will be so kind as to allow us to attack them, I'll consider attending.
Ok, now you see, that's a nice bunch of words and some half-attempted poetry, but there's no real reason given. Tell us again exactly why Neo is so important? Why does getting Neo back from the machines matter in the slightest? Shouldn't you dumbasses be concentrating on the future and on peace instead of getting hung up in the past and all the glory that is the One? Times are changing. The machines don't have control over humnaity anymore. There is no need for another One. Get over it and start working to change the world you live in for the better, rather than trying to incite violence, tension, friction, and anger.
Let's see where this goes...
It's quite clear where this is going - absolutely nowhere. A bunch of naive idealists waving the Neo flag, like they do every so often.
"Peace is not an absence of war, it is a virtue, a state of mind, a disposition for benevolence, confidence, justice." - Baruch Spinoza

Oh, that's a good one! Now if you'd go back and read my question, maybe you could come up with an actual answer to it instead of trying to sidestep with quotes from one of the biggest nihilists of all time. I didn't ask for some vapid misquoted slogan - I asked for your reason why, and you flat-out refuse to say it.

Actually, good sir, if you knew me, you'd know that I am a peaceful EPN and view this more as a religion. Now...as for my response...you should re-read my quote. I wasn't addressing you at all, but rather, the general public.
Now, I think it's pretty obvious that whoever sent this transmission just wants to talk. So why not let them? You make yourself play the part of the fool (and look it too) by getting all up in arms over it.
Do you feel threatened by words, friend?
"A criminal is frequently not equal to his deed: he makes it smaller and slanders it." -F. Nietzsche
How about, "Because we choose to" Cypherite?
Just because you'd rather sleep than fight, doesn't mean that what we do isn't right. It just means you're lazy and afraid.
I once fought beside you. I have no qualms fighting against you.
Stay clear of EPN, Bluepill.

Dude, I'm all for a little RP harshness, but cool it with the namecalling (i.e. 'dumbasses'
. It's just not necessary, you know? Make it a little less personal.
Nutin but love for ya, bro!

There is the story of old... Of the one who "freed" me. I thought of him as a mentor. Thought of him as a leader of men, bannerman of Truth. But just a man, just a tragic man...
If you knew what I know, those undiscovered lands in Death's twilight kingdom would remain less tempted by your likes. I think I may have tried to help you once upon a time. It was all for a requiem and a reprisal. And now I am, as you see me, in this sleeping walk. With wings to carry out commands of perfection. Fleets heralding logic and mechanics that your revolution cannot bear.
This is the only way. These are our creations, our gifts, our children, our new world. These are all of our dreams, as broken as they may seem. And you, the young, the rash, the insane... You, the cowardly braves, the false poets... Would rip it all away, would clutch such shattered black sun rays to the very end.
If this be your loving fates, so be it. But we have built a powerful hall that will not be torn asunder by poison or by sword.
