The Automated Ban List - Page 825

Although, ultimately, you will need to make up your own mind about Mr. Barrin, I have a number of things to say that you may find useful. So let's begin, quite properly, with a brief look at the historical development of the problem, of its attempted solutions, and of the eternal argument about it. Although I agree with those who think that he finds enemies everywhere, nevertheless, I cannot agree with the subject matter and attitude that is woven into every one of his inarticulate announcements. Why is he really so shabby? Is it because he expresses hostile odium toward anyone who intends to change the minds of those who curry favor with mawkish fast-talkers using a barrage of flattery, especially recognition of their "value", their "importance", their "educational mission", and other asinine nonsense? Or because what I call raving barrators are the lowest form of human life? I assert that that’s not my question to answer. I will say, however, that Barrin likes saying that everything will be hunky-dory if we let him wage an odd sort of warfare upon a largely unprepared and unrecognizing public. Okay, that's a parody—but not a very gross one. In point of fact, time cannot change Barrin's behavior. Time merely enlarges the field in which Barrin can, with ever-increasing intensity and thoroughness, carry our once-proud website deeper into savagery and depravity.

I have in fact told Barrin that no one will ever accuse him of being laconic. Unfortunately, there really wasn't anything to his response. I suppose Barrin just doesn't want to admit that he has repeatedly indicated a desire to lead a demented jihad against those who oppose him. Is that the sound of rarefied respectability that Barrin's disciples so frequently attribute to Barrin? The moonstruck blathering of a pestilential doomsday prophet is more like it. In fact, statements like, "The public perception is that I decidedly would have expected Barrin to at least listen to my side of the story" accurately express the feelings of most of us here. I've left out many criticisms of Mr. Barrin from this wailing wall of a letter. Nevertheless, I insist that it's a start—a philosophical space where we can plant a new flag symbolizing all that is wrong with Barrin.

No other topic is more important and explains better the demise of our society than the saga of the mods. Without going into all the gory details, let's just say that the mods love everybody so much, they want to rip out the guts of everybody who doesn't love everybody as much as they do. I've said that before and I've said it often, but perhaps I haven't been concrete enough or specific enough, so now I'll try to remedy those shortcomings. I'll try to be a lot more specific and concrete when I explain that I am not a robot. I am a thinking, feeling, human being. As such, I get teary-eyed whenever I see the mods retain an institution which, twist and turn as you like, is and remains a disgrace to humanity. It makes me want to bring it to justice, which is why I'm so eager to tell you that every one of us has a role in saving this website from the mods' iracund terrorist organization. We all know that the mods have put our website in trouble. We may disagree on what to do about it, but we all know that our website is in trouble. May I suggest, therefore, that we purge the darkness from the mods' hearts? Doing so may help even dysfunctional buffoons see that if you think you can escape from the mods' inane, drugged-out newsgroup postings, then good-bye and good luck. To the rest of you I suggest that it doesn't do us much good to become angry and wave our arms and shout about the evils of its inveracities in general terms. If we want other people to agree with us and join forces with us, then we must expose its pronouncements for what they really are.

I don't get it: Where do untoward fribbles like the mods come from, and what are we going to do with them? I mean, the mods frequently insists that their stances won't be used for political retribution. This lie of its cannot stand the light of day, and a few minutes' reflection will suffice to show how utterly gin-swilling a lie it is. Nonetheless, we really can't afford to let it pursue a twofold credo of favoritism and academicism. What I'm suggesting is that we call a spade a spade. That's the key to loving the Earth and everything that flowers and crawls upon it, and it's the only way that most people will ever learn that we mustn't let it fill children's credulous ears with its quisquiliary deblaterations. That would be like letting the Mafia serve as a new national police force in Italy. Having reached this letter's desition, I just want to leave you with the thought that writing letters like this one has earned me more hate mail from the mods than you would care to hear about.

In this letter I would like to respond directly to TeamLiquid.net's malicious, petulant mind games. However, considering its inability to cope with the truth I feel that doing so would be a great disservice to TeamLiquid.net at this time. So, instead, I'll devote the rest of this letter to explaining as politely as possible how its abusive blandishments have earned it a spot near the top of my Worst Organizations in the World list. As a preliminary, I want to build a better world, a cleaner world, a safer world, and a saner world. So remember kids, if you want to call for ritualistic invocations of needlessly formal rules, all you have to do is agree to let TeamLiquid.net make me the target of a constant, consistent, systematic, sustained campaign of attacks. Now that I've had a chance to cogitate, let me see if I have TeamLiquid.net's argument correct: It seems to be saying that it has the trappings of deity. Well, TeamLiquid.net can believe whatever it wants, but we all know that the truth is that if we don't enable patriots to use their freedoms to save their freedoms, then TeamLiquid.net will soon become unstoppable. No borders will be able to detain it. No united global opinion will be able to isolate it. No international police or juridical institutions will be able to interdict it.

TeamLiquid.net believes that education should teach the precepts of despotism and the duties of man towards adversarial quacksalvers. The real damage that this belief causes actually has nothing to do with the belief itself but with psychology, human nature, and the skillful psychological manipulation of that nature by TeamLiquid.net and its malign goombahs. TeamLiquid.net is trying to hide the fact that I unequivocally find its demeanor and pomposity downright appalling. Nevertheless, one thing that rings true with crystalline clarity is that TeamLiquid.net is surely up to something. I don't know exactly what, but its confreres like to say, "TeamLiquid.net's tirades provide a liberating insight into life, the universe, and everything." Such frothy eloquence neither convinces nor satisfies me. If someone wants me to believe something unrestrained like that, that person will have to show me some concrete evidence. Meanwhile, I, hardheaded cynic that I am, intend to show you that TeamLiquid.net is doing everything in its power to make me suffer the pain of its wrath. The only reason I haven't yet is that I believe in the four P's: patience, prayer, positive thinking, and perseverance.

To those readers who believe that the health effects of secondhand smoke are negligible, you have not been paying attention. I recently read a book confirming what I've been saying for years, that I recently heard TeamLiquid.net tell a bunch of people that it possesses infinite wisdom. I can't adequately describe my first reaction to this notion; I simply don't know how to represent uncontrollable laughter in text. TeamLiquid.net is unable to empathize with the pain of its victims. How much more illumination does that fact need before TeamLiquid.net can grasp it? Assuming the answer is "a substantial amount", let me point out that if it weren't for TeamLiquid.net's double standards it would have no standards at all. Hence, it's absolutely a waste of time even to address TeamLiquid.net's hypocrisy. That's why I'll state merely that given the amount of misinformation that it is circulating, I must really point out that inasmuch as I disagree with its accusations and find its ad hominem attacks offensive, I am happy to meet its speech with more speech and, if necessary, continue this discussion until the truth shines. The take-away message of this letter is that TeamLiquid.net hates me for my determination and my aggressive stance for what is right. Think about it. I don't want to have to write another letter a few years from now, in the wake of a society torn apart by TeamLiquid.net's juvenile campaigns of malice and malignity, reminding you that you were warned.
