As you read this letter, you may feel confused at points. If you do, keep reading. The rationale underlying scottmandude's ideologies is confusing. Fortunately, as you read the superfluity of examples about how scottmandude has been trying to get on my nerves, this letter will slowly begin to make some sense. To start, it should learn to appreciate what it has instead of feeling so oppressed because it can't do everything it wants, every time it wants to.

One does not have to shift our society from a culture of conscience to a culture of consensus in order to answer the ill-bred malefactors who sentence more and more people to poverty, prison, and early death. It is a spleeny person who believes otherwise. No one can deny that scottmandude's newsgroup postings are surrounded by a halo of lexiphanicism, yet scottmandude's buddies all look like scottmandude, think like scottmandude, act like scottmandude, and pooh-pooh the reams of solid evidence pointing to the existence and operation of a subversive coterie of escapism, just like scottmandude does. And all this in the name of -- let me see if I can get their propaganda straight -- brotherhood and service. Ha! If scottmandude wants to be taken seriously, it should counter the arguments in this letter with facts, not illogical panaceas, personal anecdotes, or insults. As reluctant as I am to admit it, I have frequently criticized scottmandude's unspoken plan to promote the sort of behavior that would have made the folks in Sodom and Gomorrah blush. It usually addresses my criticisms by accusing me of pessimism, collectivism, child molestation, and halitosis. Scottmandude hopes that by delegitimizing me this way, no one will listen to me when I say that scottmandude is an interesting organization. On the one hand, it likes to break the mind and spirit, castrate the character, and kill the career of anyone whose ideas it deems to be intransigent. But on the other hand, its secret passion is to force square pegs into round holes. For shame!

I just want to keep our priorities in check. That's why I propose, argue, cajole, plead, wheedle, and joke about ways to hold out the prospect of societal peace, prosperity, and a return to sane values and certainties. By the same token, scottmandude claims that we're supposed to shut up and smile when it says otiose things. I contend that the absurdities within that claim speak for themselves, although I should add that scottmandude is intellectually dishonest in everything it says and does. If you doubt this, just ask around. While it's true that scottmandude's cock-and-bull stories are wrong for the same reason that drug use, adultery, lust, murder, and lying are wrong, it has yet to acknowledge that fact. Scottmandude's victims have been speaking out for years. Unfortunately, their voices have long been silenced by the roar and thunder of scottmandude's cat's-paws, who loudly proclaim that we have too much freedom. Regardless of those indecent proclamations, the truth is that I like to speak of it as "uninformed". That's a reasonable term to use, I believe, but let's now try to understand it a little better. For starters, by comparing today to even ten years ago and projecting the course we're on, I'd say we're in for an even more antihumanist, unpatriotic, and diabolic society, all thanks to scottmandude's memoirs. I feel I am not alone when I say that scottmandude's agendas are evil. They're evil because they cause global warming; they make your teeth fall out; they give you spots; they incite nuclear war. And, as if that weren't enough, I myself have to laugh when scottmandude says that violence and prejudice are funny. Where in the world did it get that idea? Not only does that idea contain absolutely no substance whatsoever, but my position is that its toadies are ineducable. Scottmandude, in contrast, argues that its opinions represent the opinions of the majority -- or even a plurality. This disagreement merely scratches the surface of the ideological chasm festering between me and scottmandude. The only rational way to bridge this chasm is for it to admit that it can get away with lies (e.g., that no one is smart enough to see through its transparent lies) because the average person cannot imagine anyone lying so brazenly. Not one person in a hundred will actually check out the facts for himself and discover that scottmandude is lying. In closing, we must work together to focus on the major economic, social, and political forces that provide the setting for the expression of an imperious agenda. Together, we can make a difference. Forever and always.
