The Pin Protocol

04 Oct, 2025

Some people float around like ego balloons. Most? Noise. You point, call it dumb, walk away.

But when they roll into your lane? You become the pin.

The 7-Step Pin

1. Spot → Ego balloon detected.

2. Assess → If it touches your lane (your work, dignity, or space), engage. If not? Ignore.

3. Prep → Neutral face. One breath. Ready line.

4. Pin → One strike: a line, a stare, or silence. No debate.

5. Lock → If they push, repeat boundary once, firmer.

6. Exit → Leave. Attention is oxygen. Starve them.

7. Record → If official/work, note it down. Keep receipts.

Motto: See it. Pin it. Move.

Pin Options

Polite Execution (public, safe):

• “That’s your take — I’ll stick to facts.”
• “Interesting opinion. Not mine.”
• “Cool. I’m done here.”

Surgical Snark (private or safe crowd):

• “Save the sermon — I’m allergic.”
• “That crown’s heavy. Hope it fits.”
• “Congrats, you found the loud button.”

Official Lock (work/legal):

• “That’s incorrect. The record shows X.”
• “I won’t be part of this. Let’s document this and move on.”
• “I disagree. Here’s the evidence.”

Nonverbal Pins

• Slow blink. Tilt head. Silence.
• Glance at paper or phone — exit signal.
• Physically turn away. Leave.
• Online: mute, block, screenshot.

Rules of Engagement

✔ Be concise. One move.

✔ Keep it legal, safe, and sharp.

✔ Document if needed.

✘ Don’t argue endlessly.

✘ Don’t escalate physically.

✘ Don’t waste energy on every balloon.

Graffiti of the Reckoning

• “Not my lane. Not my problem.”
• “If you float into my lane, you pop.”
• “Confirmed Kill: ego deflated.”
