Encore. What a wonderful performance.
Mermaid, your latest missive has completely convinced me of the terrible
martyrdom you are suffering on our behalf. How would we ever have known what
"integrity" was, if you were not there to show us its real meaning. Such
stability, such tranquility, such bravery as yours, such selfless
willingness to sacrifice friendship, respect, and outdated ideas of
discourse, argument and rational tolerance of that with which you disagree,
is rare indeed. While others might think that you were busily seeking new
allies, or attempting to correct an all too frequent "momentary lapse of
reason," revealing far more of yourself than you wish, I am not fooled by
such base assumptions and understand that you have more "integrity" in your
little finger than most people have in their, in their, words almost fail
me.
Seldom in the history of mankind can there possibly have been anyone who was
as certain of their absolute ability to discern "truth" and harangue the
wicked as you have demonstrated for us. Over and over. Permanently on record
in our archives for anyone who takes the trouble to find out about the real
you so that they too can love you without your even having to demonstrate
your abilities upon them. Reflecting clearly how those seeking to disagree
with you were evil, nasty and perverted characters like me, fully deserving
everything you said about them - and so much more. How could I ever have
misjudged your saintly mission? How could I possibly have written, as I did,
before receiving your letter and seeing the light, "So shed no tears for the
PsychoBitch. They are unnecessary and unappreciated (by her). She now seeks
to portray herself as being martyred on account of the integrity she has
already quite convinced herself that she possesses and is now desperately
attempting to persuade everyone else of." I am so mortified. I flagellate
myself. For making this clear to all, I salute you. Few would have the
courage, may I say, "the balls", to take the course you have chosen. I say
this in all sincerity and with absolutely no sarcasm.
Hermit the Cretan
Giving the Mermaid a big squelchy kiss for being such a wonderful example to
us all.
