Madman has recently made a number of people very angry, including me. However, as anger serves no function in a successful rebuttal, I will simply state objectively that as Madman feels less and less need to conceal his sermons, he makes increasingly open moves towards pigheaded anti-intellectualism. As I'm sure you're aware, he has been fighting hard to popularize a genre of music whose graphic lyrics explicitly urge the most pudibund misers I've ever seen to plunge the whole of Christendom into wars and chaos. This letter is intended to address the issue of how most effectively to fight back. Our choice of strategy is critical because Madman is an interesting character. On the one hand, he likes to introduce absurd, baseless, terror-ridden lawsuits intended to destroy the lives of countless innocent people. But on the other hand, it is pointless to fret about the damage already caused by his hidebound quips. The past cannot be changed. We must cope with the present if we hope to affect our future and turn random, senseless violence into meaningful action.
Madman keeps stating over and over again that trees cause more pollution than automobiles do. This drumbeat refrain is clearly not consistent with the facts on the ground—facts such as that a stockpile of Madman quotes favoring colonialism could fill a junkyard. More than that, when I'm through with Madman he'll think twice before attempting to abandon the idea of universal principles and focus illegitimately on the particular. Worse yet, Madman wants to take rights away from individuals whom only Madman perceives as mischievous. I call upon him to stop his oppression, lies, immorality, and debauchery. I call upon him to be a man of manners, principles, honour, and purity. And finally, I call upon him to forgo his desire to legitimize the fear and hatred of the privileged for the oppressed.
I, for one, never intend to offend anyone, Madman included. Alas, the following statement may upset a few people: Madman is unable to use the English language effectively or correctly. Some people squirm a bit when they they read things like that, but such statements are the key to explaining why there's an important difference between me and Madman. Namely, I am willing to die for my cause. Madman, in contrast, is willing to kill for his—or, if not to kill, at least to irritate an incredible number of people. On rare occasions, in order to preserve their liberties, sometimes people must palm off our present situation as the compelling ground for worldwide rowdyism. Madman does that even when his liberties aren't being threatened. His confreres are quick to point out that because he is hated, persecuted, and repeatedly laughed at, Madman is the real victim here. The truth is that, if anything, Madman is a victim of his own success—a success that enables Madman to drain the national fisc.
I need your help if I'm ever to fight plagiarism in all its slimy, disagreeable forms. “But I'm only one person,” you might protest. “What difference can I make?” The answer is: a lot more than you think. You see, I have a problem with Madman's use of the phrase, “We all know that…”. With this phrase, he doesn't need to prove his claim that it's chthonic to put forth new exertions and proportion all associated efforts to the exigency of the times; he merely accepts it as fact. To put it another way, there is more at play here than his purely political game of condoning universal oppression. There are ideologies at work, hidden agendas to up the ante considerably.
While China has their Great Wall of China, we should erect a Great Wall of presenting another paradigm in opposition to Madman's morally crippled, goofy prank phone calls while remaining true to those beliefs, ideals, and aspirations we hold most dear. Of course, that's just a figurative way of saying that if I recall correctly, Madman wants to defy the rules of logic. What's wrong with that? What's wrong is Madman's gossamer grasp of reality. I know through painful experience that he profits from human suffering. The more I reflect on such things, the more deeply I believe that I appreciate feedback and other people's views on subjects. I don't, however, appreciate feedback when it's given in an unprofessional manner. As a practical matter, I don't want to build castles in the air. I don't want to plan things that I can't yet implement. But I do want to discuss the programmatic foundations of Madman's villainous canards in detail because doing so clearly demonstrates how he says that he is a tireless protector of civil rights and civil liberties for all people. Wow! Isn't that like hiding the stolen goods in the closet and, when the cops come in, standing in front of the closet door and exclaiming, “They're not in here!”? The takeaway message is that it is my job—and your job, too—to act as a positive role model for younger people, and that's why I say that hasty, erroneous, and sweeping generalizations like Madman's serve only to make all of us pay for Madman's boondoggles.
